Abstract
--------
wmii is a dynamic window manager for X11. It supports classic and
tiled window management with extended keyboard, mouse, and 9P-based[1]
remote control. It consists of the wmii(1) window manager and the
wmiir(1) the remote access utility.
Requirements
------------
In order to build wmii you need the Xlib header files and libixp.
xmessage is used by the default scripts. Libixp, if not provided, can
be obtained from http://libs.suckless.org/. On debian, you should be
able to obtain all dependencies by running `make deb-dep`. Python is
recommended for more advanced configurations.
Installation
------------
First, edit config.mk to match your local setup.
To build, simply run:
make
To install, run the following, as root if necessary:
make install
On debian, you should only have to run `make deb` to create a debian
package. No further configuration should be necessary.
Running wmii
------------
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start wmii using startx:
until wmii; do :; done
In order to connect wmii to a specific display, make sure that the
DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly. For example:
DISPLAY=:1 wmii
This will start wmii on display :1.
Configuration
-------------
The configuration of wmii is done by customizing the rc script wmiirc,
which remotely controls the window manager and handles various events.
The main wmiirc script lives in @GLOBALCONF@ while wmiirc_local goes
in @LOCALCONF@.
More advanced versions of wmiirc are provided in python and ruby.
For more information on them, see alternative_wmiircs/README.
