1 WISTRUT 2 wmii-@VERSION@ 3 May, 2010 4 5 %!includeconf: header.t2t 6 7 = NAME = 8 9 wistrut - The wmii EWMH strut manager 10 11 = SYNOPSIS = 12 13 wistrut [-HV] <window|class>... + 14 wistrut -v 15 16 = DESCRIPTION = 17 18 `wistrut` automatically sets EWMH struts on windows for programs 19 which don't provide such functionality. This allows you to leave 20 utility windows onscreen without obscuring managed clients. Instead, 21 whatever part of the screen is occupied by the window will be left 22 free by wmii, provided it is less than half of the screen width or 23 height. Struts are automatically updated when the managed windows 24 are moved or resized, and are only applied if the window is touching 25 an edge of the screen. 26 27 `wistrut` may be used with any EWMH compatible window manager. 28 29 = ARGUMENTS = 30 31 All non-option arguments constitute window IDs or regular 32 expressions. In the latter case, the any window whose 33 <name>:<class>:<title> (as used in wmii's colrules and tagrules) 34 will be managed. 35 36 : -H 37 Only set horizontal struts. Normally, `wistrut` locates 38 struts in the direction of the narrowest dimension of the 39 window, provided it is touching a screen edge. With this 40 option set, they will always be allocated on either the left 41 or right of the screen. Never the top or bottom. 42 : -V 43 Only set vertical struts. See -H. 44 : -v 45 Display version information. 46 47 = BUGS = 48 49 There is no way to remove struts from a window other than to move it 50 away from the edge of the screen and kill `wistrut`. 51 52 = SEE ALSO = 53 54 wmii(1) 55
