Abstract
|
||||
--------
|
||||
window manager improved 2 (wmii) [1] is an improved, modularized and
|
||||
lightweight X11 window manager which supports tabbed, tiled and
|
||||
conventional window management through layouts.
|
||||
wmii consists of components that are independent processes and
|
||||
communicate via a socket-based virtual filesystem which is oriented
|
||||
on the "everything is file" paradigm of the Plan 9 [2] operating system.
|
||||
The core distribution of wmii contains the window manager itself,
|
||||
a master file system routing utility (wmiifs), a generic bar (wmiibar),
|
||||
a shortcut handler (wmiikeys), and a generic interaction menu (wmiimenu)
|
||||
beside several tiny utilities like wmiir, wmiiplumb, and wmiiwarp.
|
||||
window manager improved 2 is a dynamic window manager for X11.
|
||||
It supports classic and tiled window management with extended
|
||||
keyboard, mouse, and 9P-based [2] remote control.
|
||||
It consists of the wmiiwm(1) window manager, the wmiir(1)
|
||||
remote access utility, and a tiny wmiimenu(1).

Configuration
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
The configuration of wmii is done by customizing the existing actions.
|
||||
Customizing an action means copying the appropriate file from the directory
|
||||
$WMII_CONFDIR (usually /usr/local/etc/wmii-3) to
|
||||
$HOME/.wmii-3 and editing it to fit your needs. The action of main
|
||||
interest is called 'wmiirc': it is executed on startup.
|
||||
The configuration of wmii is done by customizing the wmiirc script,
|
||||
which remotly controls the window manager and handles various events
|
||||
the window manager reports while runtime.
|
||||
To customize the wmiirc, copy the file from PREFIX/etc/wmii-3
|
||||
(usually /usr/local/etc/wmii-3) to $HOME/.wmii-3 and edit it to fit
|
||||
your needs.
