There are a few limitations: the file selector and image saving don't work. You can save position files and then later render them on the other OS, or save screenshots.
Plan9 terminals also don't provide any way to catch the arrow keys, so you
can't use them. Use the mouse to navigate in the menus. Also, getting the screen
resolution is impossible, so use -pixelwidth
and -pixelheight
instead of -screenwidth
and -screenheight
.
By default XaoS changes the colormap. This will collide with other colorful
programs like Mortha. You can disable this behavior using
-nopalette
switch, but this will slow down XaoS.
