Whats the difference between EvilWM and BadWM?

Some of the BadWM add-ons look very useful.

BadBar & BadBar2 = replacement for yeahlaunch?
BadMenu = replacement for 9menu?

Recently tried evilwm-1.0.0 in q142..

Indeed evilwm is very minimal. The binary only uses .2% of my 512 RAM (htop) but this is somewhat offset by convenience extras (like wbar or a panel/menu) that are not quite so essential in most other light wms. Iconify doesn't work in standard evilwm (this takes some getting used to!) .. perhaps MaxieZ's patch. Virtual desktops are different as well (keybd-switch only and pagers may not display current desktop as expected).

lxpanel may be preferred to fbpanel (some issues with fbpanel's autohide, plus lxpanel's menu/run gives a nice multi-choice in a simple ui) - some plugins like pager, desk#, 'taskbar' and wincmd are fairly useless as-is (a custom profile helps to trim). aemenu and aepanel-gtk¹ work well (this panel even has some functionality as a kind of client/window list, displaying titlebar text and status markers like * not visible in evilwm's minimal decor and using parentheses to denote windows not on current desktop).

Even tried the more recent evilwm-1.1.0, but make failed Sad

in my environment - was quite interested to see how the improved EWMH would relate (as well as getting rid of the soliddrag, pretty annoying to have that as default rather than a lighter outline-type).

¹ had these already as part of wmx-7 wm (aemenu is super easy to edit), dmenu could be yet another option for those so inclined.
