     20 Xft support
     21 -----------

     26 support, although having Xft installed just edit config.h
     27 as follows:
     28 
     29 #define XFT_SUPPORT
     30 
     31 
     32 Debug support
     33 -------------
     34 
     35 To run WMI with verbose debug output you've to edit config.h
     36 with debug support:
     37 
     38 #define DEBUG
     39 
     40 
     41 Diamond box
     42 -----------
     43 
     44 If you want WMI to draw a diamond box while resizing/moving
     45 clients, enable it in config.h:
     46 
     47 #define DIAMOND
     48 
     49
