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.
