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 [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
|
|
and dmenu are used by the default scripts. libixp and dmenu can be obtained
|
|
from http://suckless.org/. Either plan9port[2] or 9base is recommended.
|
|
If you have the wmii+ixp distribution, libixp is already provided.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
First, edit config.mk to match your local setup, or to let us guess it, run:
|
|
make config
|
|
|
|
To build, simply run:
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
To install, run the following, as root, if necessary:
|
|
make 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 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 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/.
|
|
|
|
If you wish to unbind keys bound by rc.wmii in rc.wmii.local, you
|
|
must do so inside the function Action-overridekeys. You may,
|
|
however, define new keys or redefine keys anywhere.
