awesome
|
|
=======
|
|
awesome is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
|
|
It's based on dwm.
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
In order to build awesome you need the Xlib header files and libconfig.
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (awesome is installed into
|
|
the /usr/local namespace by default).
|
|
|
|
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install awesome (if
|
|
necessary as root):
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
Running awesome
|
|
-----------
|
|
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start awesome using startx
|
|
or to .xsession to start awesome using gdm/kdm/xdm...:
|
|
|
|
exec awesome
|
|
|
|
In order to connect awesome to a specific display, make sure that
|
|
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec awesome
|
|
|
|
(This will start awesome 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 true
|
|
do
|
|
echo `date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`
|
|
sleep 1
|
|
done | awesome
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
The configuration of awesome is done by creating a ~/.awesomerc file.
|
|
An example is provided in the sources.
