Emacs, no toolkit, raw x11 calls

started by alice 2026-06-07

This is my emacs now.

It does not use motif, athena, lucid, gtk or anything like that, but rather calls x11 directly.

This is a test, but so far i like it, less nonsense and faster/lighter.

./configure --set-x-toolkit=no to compile for this look.

Otherwise my modeline (bars) are some pretty simple ones i made, and i like it. Debating moving the scrollbar to the right to get a frame around the entire open buffer. Default emacs theme.


Here is how a submenu looks
its clean, simple and does the job
