# Devour: X11 Window Swallower
Devour hides your current window before launching an external program and unhides it after quitting.
Devour was inspired by
[sw](https://github.com/ronniedroid/.dotfiles/blob/master/Scripts/sw)
and is a successor to
[devour.sh](https://github.com/salman-abedin/devour.sh)
# Demonstration done by [DistroTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVls1GmFKf6WlTraIb_IaJg)
[](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBNLzHcUtTo&t=5m22s)
## Dependencies
- Xlib (client-side header files)
## Installation
#### AUR
```sh
yay -S --noconfirm devour
# or
yay -S --noconfirm devour-git # Nightly
```
#### Git
```sh
git clone https://github.com/salman-abedin/devour.git && cd devour && sudo make install
```
## Usage
```sh
devour CMD ...
```
## Patches
- **Shell aliases**. (ex. `devour z FILE` instead of `devour zathura FILE`)
```sh
cd devour
patch -s < devour-shellalias-10.0.diff # Add the feature
patch -s -R < devour-shellalias-10.0.diff # Remove the feature
sudo make install # Reinstall
```
## Pro Tip
**Devour from your file explorer instead of the shell.**
Watch my demo and notice how seamless it is compared to devouring from the shell.
**Hint:** If you are one of those unfortunate souls who uses **xdg-open** instead of
[a custom launch script](https://gist.github.com/salman-abedin/6f52c52e465d89d489f9ea8d891c7332),
then go to your **~/.local/share/applications** directory and modify the applications you launch from your file explorer like below and enjoy the true devouring experience.
```
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=PDF Reader
