Actually I got a low priority TODO item: porting dwm in C for .NET if there is some spare time in the future. But note, if I do it, this will be commercial software - as I don't see any reason why I should develop it for free under Windows Vista (the Visual Studio 2007 + Windows Vista licenses cost a lot, so at least I want get back those costs) - if anyone knows a company who'd made an initial donation (a Vista box + Visual Studio send me a priv mail)... Another reason for making such project commercial is 'Schmerzensgeld' in German words - dunno if 'smart money' would be the correct English translation. Actually the pain developing and using Windows has to be paid at least - that's what it means... I got a similiar idea for OS X as well, but as I told that has low priority... and I consider developing for OS X is more painful than for Windows. Regards, -- Anselm R.
