Abstract
--------
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 and the wmiir(1)
the remote access utility.


Requirements
------------
In order to build wmii you need the Xlib header files and libixp. Further
dependencies are xmessage and dmenu. libixp and dmenu can be obtained from
[1].


Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup. wmii is installed into
the /usr/local hierarchy by default.

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install wmii (if
necessary as root):

    make clean install


Running wmii
------------
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start wmii using startx:

    exec wmii

In order to connect wmii or wmiir to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:

    DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec wmii

This will start wmii on display :1 of the host foo.bar.


Configuration
-------------
The configuration of wmii is done by customizing the sh script wmiirc,
which remotely controls the window manager and handles various events.
Copy the file from PREFIX/etc/wmii-3.5/ (usually /usr/local/etc/wmii-3.5/)
to $HOME/.wmii-3.5/ and edit it to fit your needs.
