      9 wihack - The wmii window hack
     10 
     11 = SYNOPSIS =
     12 
     13 wihack [-transient <window>] [-type <ewmh window type>] [-tags <tags>] <program>

     15 = DESCRIPTION =
     16 
     17 `wihack` is a program which alters the windows created by an
     18 arbitrary program. It has the name `wihack` because it is just that:
     19 a hack. It uses LD_PRELOAD to override certain Xlib calls and add
     20 properties to newly created windows.
     21 
     22 = ARGUMENTS =
     23 
     24 : -transient <window>
     25         Marks created windows as transient for a given <window>.
     26         This causes the new window to open in the floating layer of
     27         the same tags as <window>.
     28 : -type <ewmh window type>
     29         Sets the EWMH window type of the created window to the type
     30         given. `wmii` understands the following types:
     31 
     32         >>
     33         : dialog
     34                 Opens in the floating layer.
     35         : dock
     36         : menu
     37         : toolbar
     38                 Automatically opens in the floating layer. Does not
     39                 have a window border or titlebar.
     40         : splash
     41                 Automatically floats and does not automatically
     42                 receive focus.
     43         <<
     44 : -tags <tags>
     45         The created window opens on the given tags.
