PolytreeWM - tiling window manager ================================== PolytreeWM is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X. Requirements ------------ In order to build PolytreeWM you need the Xlib header files. Installation ------------ Edit config.mk to match your local setup (PolytreeWM is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default). Afterwards enter the following command to build and install PolytreeWM (if necessary as root): make clean install Running ------- Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start PolytreeWM using startx: exec polytreewm In order to connect PolytreeWM to a specific display, make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.: DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec polytreewm (This will start PolytreeWM on display :1 of the host foo.bar.) In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something like this in your .xinitrc: while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`" do sleep 1 done & exec polytreewm Configuration ------------- The configuration of PolytreeWM is done by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code.
