rio

rio is Plan 9’s native windowing system. Probably better referred to as a “rectangle multiplexer.” Each of the modified versions below ships with the following changes:

   - color scheme

Be sure to read each README, install, and mkfile.

The r script is used to set up the environment and launch rio. Other scripts open windows and programs at pre-determined locations around the screen, based on the automatically detected screen resolution. Read and modify as needed.

Note: Other people have done a much better job of theming rio. The modified versions below are no longer recommended, unless of course you happen to be running rio tcp/tls booted across a network, or in vnc, or in drawterm, where sigrid’s hacked-up rio does not repaint the screen correctly.
