1 gridwm
2 ------
4 gridwm is an automatic X11 window manager which arranges all windows in a grid.
5 One goal is not to exceed 3kSLOC.
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 wmii
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
41 source file.
