|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | See the file INSTALL. |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| 24 | *** Using plwm without installing |
|---|
| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | PLWM can be run from the distribution tree. Start it with python |
|---|
| 27 | (if you dearchived the distribution in /home/foo): |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | python /home/foo/plwm-2.6/examples/examplewm.py |
|---|
| 30 | |
|---|
| 31 | *** Documentation |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | In doc, you'll want to build and read plwm.info. (After running make, |
|---|
| 34 | you can read the built info-file in an emacs by pressing C-u C-h i and |
|---|
| 35 | giving the path to plwm.info.) |
|---|
| 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | A terse description of the example window manager is in |
|---|
| 38 | examples/README.examplewm. |
|---|
| 39 | |
|---|
| 40 | *** Using it. |
|---|
| 41 | |
|---|
| 42 | There are a number of example window managers in examples/. Running |
|---|
| 43 | the examples will start that window manager. Examing the examples is |
|---|
| 44 | the best way to get a feel for how to configure a plwm window manager. |
|---|
| 45 | |
|---|
| 46 | If you want to test window managers, or switch between them, then |
|---|
| 47 | utils/wmm.py is a window manager manager. Read the source file for |
|---|
| 48 | documentation. |
