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.
