- gridwm
- ------
-
- gridwm is an extremly fast, small, and automatic X11 window manager. It
- arranges all windows in a grid.
-
-
- Configuration
- -------------
- You have to edit the source code for configuration, this WM is intended to
- provide sane defaults, if something doesn't fits your needs, edit config.h and
- maybe key.c. To change the status output edit that status variable definition
- in wm.c.
-
-
- Requirements
- ------------
- In order to build gridwm you need the Xlib header files.
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
- Edit config.mk to match your local setup. gridwm is installed into
- the /usr/local namespace by default.
-
- Afterwards enter the following command to build and install gridwm (if
- necessary as root):
-
- make clean install
-
-
- Running gridwm
- --------------
- Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start gridwm using startx:

- exec gridwm
-
- In order to connect gridwm to a specific display, make sure that
- the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
-
- DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec gridwm
-
- This will start gridwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.
-
-
- Configuration

- The configuration of gridwm is done by customizing the config.h source file. To
- customize the key bindings edit key.c. To change the status output, edit the
