Abstract -------- window manager improved-improved 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]. One of plan9port or 9base is also recommended. 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: until wmii; do true done 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 wmii This will start wmii on display :1 of the host foo.bar. Configuration ------------- The configuration of wmii is done by customizing the rc script rc.wmii.local, which remotely controls the window manager and handles various events. The main rc.wmii script lives in PREFIX/etc/wmii-3.5/, while rc.wmii.local goes in $HOME/.wmii-3.5/. rc.wmii.local should contain a line containing just: '# Overrides'. You must set your MODKEY before this line, if you wish to change it, and define most functions after it.
