| 1 gridwm | |
| 2 ------ | |
| 3 | |
| 4 gridwm is an automatic X11 window manager which arranges all windows in a grid. | |
| 5 | |
| 6 | |
| 7 Requirements | |
| 8 ------------ | |
| 9 In order to build gridwm you need the Xlib header files. | |
| 10 | |
| 11 | |
| 12 Installation | |
| 13 ------------ | |
| 14 Edit config.mk to match your local setup. gridwm is installed into | |
| 15 the /usr/local namespace by default. | |
| 16 | |
| 17 Afterwards enter the following command to build and install gridwm (if | |
| 18 necessary as root): | |
| 19 | |
| 20 make clean install | |
| 21 | |
| 22 | |
| 23 Running gridwm | |
| 24 -------------- | |
| 25 Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start gridwm using startx: | |
| 26 | |
| 27 exec gridwm | |
| 28 | |
| 29 In order to connect gridwm to a specific display, make sure that | |
| 30 the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.: | |
| 31 | |
| 32 DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec wmii | |
| 33 | |
| 34 This will start gridwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar. | |
| 35 | |
| 36 | |
| 37 Configuration | |
| 38 ------------- | |
| 39 The configuration of gridwm is done by customizing the config.h | |
| 40 source file. |
