This is a small window manager for the X Window System written
entirely with XCB, the straight X protocol binding to the C language.
It doesn't use libX11 which most older window managers do.
It's a traditional 'floating' window manager. It doesn't really do
anything new to the user experience. It is pretty stupid, but can
probably be useful for some people.
== Start ==
Start like this:
mcwm [-b] [-t /full/path/toterminal]
-b means draw no borders around windows.
-t /usr/local/bin/urxvt will start the urxvt terminal emulator when
Mod1 + Return is pressed.
Typically mcwm will start automatically when you start the X Window
System. If you start from the console, you need an .xinitrc file.
Here's a complete example:
----------------- 8< -----------------
#! /bin/sh
# Set nice background.
xsetroot -mod 16 16 -fg rgb:54/6/6 -bg grey20
# Set nice pointer cursor.
xsetroot -cursor_name plus -fg white -bg black
# Load resources.
xrdb -load ~/.Xresources
# Start window manager in the background. If it dies, X still lives.
mcwm &
# Start a terminal in the foreground. If this dies, X dies.
urxvt
----------------- 8< -----------------
If you are using a graphical login program such as XDM you can use the
same file as .xsession instead.
== Use ==
With the the default configuration, use mcwm like this:
Mod1 + mouse buttons:
1 move
2 raise
3 resize
Mod2 + key:
r raise or lower (toggles)
x maximize
m maximize vertically
h move left
j move down
k move up
l move right
H resize left
J resize down
K resize up
L resize right
Return start terminal
If you don't like the default key bindings, border width, et cetera,
look in the config.h file, change and recompile.
