1 gridwm
2 ------
4 gridwm is an extremly fast, small, and automatic X11 window manager. It
5 arranges all windows in a grid.
8 Requirements
9 ------------
10 In order to build gridwm you need the Xlib header files.
13 Installation
14 ------------
15 Edit config.mk to match your local setup. gridwm is installed into
16 the /usr/local namespace by default.
18 Afterwards enter the following command to build and install gridwm (if
19 necessary as root):
21 make clean install
24 Running gridwm
25 --------------
26 Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start gridwm using startx:
28 exec gridwm
30 In order to connect gridwm to a specific display, make sure that
31 the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
33 DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec gridwm
35 This will start gridwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.
38 Configuration
39 -------------
40 The configuration of gridwm is done by customizing the config.h source file. To
41 customize the key bindings edit kb.c. To change the status output, edit the
42 status command definition in wm.c.
