| garbeam@17 | 8 Configuration |
| garbeam@17 | 9 ------------- |
| garbeam@17 | 10 You have to edit the source code for configuration, this WM is intended to |
| garbeam@17 | 11 provide sane defaults, if something doesn't fits your needs, edit config.h and |
| garbeam@17 | 12 maybe key.c. To change the status output edit that status variable definition |
| garbeam@17 | 13 in wm.c. |

| garbeam@0 | 21 Installation |
| garbeam@0 | 22 ------------ |
| garbeam@0 | 23 Edit config.mk to match your local setup. gridwm is installed into |
| garbeam@0 | 24 the /usr/local namespace by default. |
| garbeam@0 | 25 |
| garbeam@0 | 26 Afterwards enter the following command to build and install gridwm (if |
| garbeam@0 | 27 necessary as root): |
| garbeam@0 | 28 |
| garbeam@0 | 29 make clean install |
| garbeam@0 | 30 |
| garbeam@0 | 31 |
| garbeam@0 | 32 Running gridwm |
| garbeam@0 | 33 -------------- |
| garbeam@0 | 34 Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start gridwm using startx: |
| garbeam@0 | 35 |
| garbeam@0 | 36 exec gridwm |
| garbeam@0 | 37 |
| garbeam@0 | 38 In order to connect gridwm to a specific display, make sure that |
| garbeam@0 | 39 the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.: |
| garbeam@0 | 40 |
| garbeam@17 | 41 DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec gridwm |
| garbeam@0 | 42 |
| garbeam@0 | 43 This will start gridwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar. |
| garbeam@0 | 44 |
| garbeam@0 | 45 |
| garbeam@0 | 46 Configuration |
| garbeam@0 | 47 ------------- |
| garbeam@17 | 48 The configuration of gridwm is done by customizing the config.h source file. To |
| garbeam@17 | 49 customize the key bindings edit key.c. To change the status output, edit the |
| garbeam@17 | 50 status command definition in wm.c. |
