awesome - awesome window manager
SYNOPSIS
--------
2007-11-21 14:29:16 +01:00
awesome [-v | --version] [-c configuration file]
2007-11-21 14:29:16 +01:00
DESCRIPTION
-----------
2007-11-21 14:29:16 +01:00
+awesome+ is a window manager for X. It manages windows in different layouts, like
2007-11-14 17:43:36 +01:00
floating or tiled. Either layout can be applied dynamically, optimizing the
2007-09-05 20:15:00 +02:00
environment for the application in use and the task performed.
2007-11-21 14:29:16 +01:00
2007-09-05 20:15:00 +02:00
In tiled layout windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master
2007-10-17 11:58:19 +02:00
area contains windows which currently need most attention, whereas the
2007-09-05 20:15:00 +02:00
stacking area contains all other windows. In floating layout windows can be
resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating,
regardless of the layout applied.
2007-11-21 14:29:16 +01:00
2007-09-05 20:15:00 +02:00
Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags.
2007-11-21 14:29:16 +01:00
2007-09-10 14:40:24 +02:00
awesome contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the layout,
2007-10-17 11:58:19 +02:00
the title of the focused window, and a status text. A
floating window is indicated with an empty circle and a maximized
floating window is indicated with a circle square before the windows
2007-09-18 23:21:26 +02:00
title. The selected tags are indicated with a different color. The tags of
2007-09-05 20:15:00 +02:00
the focused window are indicated with a filled square in the top left
2007-09-18 23:21:26 +02:00
corner. The tags which are applied to one or more windows are indicated
2007-09-05 20:15:00 +02:00
with an empty square in the top left corner.
2007-09-18 23:21:26 +02:00
awesome can draw a small border around windows to indicate the focus state.

BUGS
----
2007-11-21 14:29:16 +01:00
Of course there's no bug in awesome. But there may be unexpected behaviours.
2007-09-05 20:15:00 +02:00
Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw grey windows
only. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in recent JDK 1.5 and early
JDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a reparenting window manager. As a workaround
you can use JDK 1.4 (which doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or you
can set the following environment variable (to use the older Motif
2007-11-21 14:29:16 +01:00
backend instead): AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit
