project :: smf

A few years ago, when I switched to XMonad in combination with Xinerama, I experienced some minor problems, playing some games with Wine (e.g. Warcraft 3 ). Namely Wine couldn’t bind the mouse to its “window”. Especially for games, where the mouse does scrolling the map for example, this issue is a very annoying one.

My solution was a little C-program, that creates such a mouse-binding-frame. I called it smf. It stands for “set mouse frame”. (Don’t praise me for my creative names. I know, it’s a hell of a name). It’s just a little commandline-tool, which allows you to set the frame-properties as parameter. However, I had the choice to either let it rot on my hard disc or to upload it. I chose the latter option.

Maybe some guys find it to be useful for them.
