fawm is similar to a fawn. Both of them are small and light. But there is single difference. A fawn is a baby deer, but fawm is an window manager.
- Popup menu
- Taskbar
- MIT Lisence
- (fawm is not a tiling window manager)
- FreeBSD 10.3/amd64
fawm needs Python 3.x to compile. You will get fawm/fawm
and
__fawm_config__/__fawm_config__
with the following command:
$ ./configure --prefix=${HOME}/.local && make
Write in your ~/.xinitrc
:
exec fawm
Clicking the root window show you the popup menu. The popup menu appears by clicking the most left box of the taskbar.
You can define items of this menu in ~/.fawm.conf
(below).
fawm cannot set a wallpaper. Please use xloadimage -onroot
.
fawm reads ~/.fawm.conf
at starting to define items of the popup menu.
Syntax of this file likes:
# A line starting with "#" is a comment. menu exec "Firefox" "firefox" exec "mlterm" "mlterm" : exec <caption> <command> : reload # reloads the configuration file. exit end
- Close/maximize/minimize buttons have no image. They are only three dark boxes.
- Maximize button does not work.
