breeze

A minimalistic windows shell.

Configuration

Configuration can be done by creating a breeze.conf file alongside the binary. The configuration is pretty simple. An example one can be seen here.

Building

Get any compiler toolchain. My recommendation is Clang MinGW.

Clang/GCC with bash

Run:

sh build.sh release

By default tries to run with clang. You can change the compiler by setting the CC variable:

CC=gcc sh build.sh release

MSVC

On the developer console, run:

build.bat release

Others

If you don't use bash with clang or gcc, or in case you want to try to compile with other compilers, do:

clang -O2 -flto -s -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1 src/main.c -luser32 -lgdi32 -mwindows

Feel free to replace clang and the flags with whatever you want.

Default Keybinds

• win + e - Opens explorer's file explorer.
• win + r - Reloads user's configuration.
• ctrl + alt + shift + q - Stops breeze and restarts explorer.
• win + c - Kill focused window.
• ctrl + enter - Spawn terminal.
• win + a - Open user applications folder.
• win + shift + a - Open system applications folder.
• win + [0-9] - Go to virtual desktop n.
• win + shift + [0-9] - Send focused window to virtual desktop n.

Roadmap

• Virtual Destkops (remains adding to configuration)
• System bar (clock / virtual desktop id)
• Application Launcher (separate tool)
• Dynamic Dispatch DPI awareness and act acordingly
• Custom bar drawing as a plugin (through the use of dynamic linking)
  • You can override BreezeState's bar.draw_function function pointer during BreezePluginSetup.
• Override Windows taken hotkeys (through the use of a LLK Hook)
• Wallpaper support
