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.
