awesome - awesome window manager

SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
*awesome* [*-v* | *--version*] [*-h* | *--help*] [*-c* | *--config* 'FILE'] [*-k* | *--check*]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
*awesome* is a window manager for X. It manages windows in different layouts, like
|
|
floating or tiled. Either layout can be applied dynamically, optimizing the
|
|
environment for the application in use and the task performed.
|
|
|
|
In tiled layout, windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master
|
|
area contains the windows which currently need most attention, whereas the
|
|
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. The spiral and dwindle layout are special cases
|
|
of the tiled layout where the stacking area is arranged in a spiral for the
|
|
former or as a rectangular fractal for the later.
|
|
|
|
Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
|
|
tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags.
|
|
|
|
*awesome* can contain small wiboxes which can display anything you want:
|
|
all available tags, the layout, the title of the visible windows, a text, etc.

BUGS
|
|
----
|
|
Of course there's no bug in *awesome*. But there may be unexpected behaviors.
|
|
|
|
Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw gray 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
|
|
backend instead): AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit
