Abstract
|
|
--------
|
|
wmii is a dynamic window manager for X11. It supports classic and
|
|
tiled window management with extended keyboard, mouse, and 9P-based[1]
|
|
remote control. It consists of the wmii(1) window manager and the
|
|
wmiir(1) the remote access utility.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
In order to build wmii you need the Xlib header files and libixp.
|
|
xmessage is used by the default scripts. Libixp, if not provided, can
|
|
be obtained from http://libs.suckless.org/. On debian, you should be
|
|
able to obtain all dependencies by running `make deb-dep`. Python is
|
|
recommended for more advanced configurations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
First, edit config.mk to match your local setup.
|
|
|
|
To build, simply run:
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
To install, run the following, as root if necessary:
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
On debian, you should only have to run `make deb` to create a debian
|
|
package. No further configuration should be necessary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running wmii
|
|
------------
|
|
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start wmii using startx:
|
|
|
|
until wmii; do :; done
|
|
|
|
In order to connect wmii to a specific display, make sure that the
|
|
DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly. For example:
|
|
|
|
DISPLAY=:1 wmii
|
|
|
|
This will start wmii on display :1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
The configuration of wmii is done by customizing the rc script wmiirc,
|
|
which remotely controls the window manager and handles various events.
|
|
The main wmiirc script lives in @GLOBALCONF@ while wmiirc_local goes
|
|
in @LOCALCONF@.
|
|
|
|
More advanced versions of wmiirc are provided in python and ruby.
|
|
For more information on them, see alternative_wmiircs/README.
