Documentation


- -

It's a fact that one of the biggest problems with today's software is lack of good documentation, or any - documentation for that matter. Programmers generally don't have a lot of time to document their work, and the things - they do document are usually oriented towards other programmers. While we can appreciate the programmers point of view, - we feel it's necessary to cater to a larger audience (i.e our users) by providing clear, concise information on how to - use our software. The sections below will bring all of these pieces of information together for you.

- -

Before you get started with Window Maker, you need to have an understanding of how to make use of the documentation - that comes with the source distribution. The main objective to using documentation is to understand - it, which coincidentally requires that you read it. A common mistake is for new or novice users to - overlook this information, leading them to frustration and a bad first impression. Please take a moment to peruse the - sections below, which should make the experience of learning Window Maker a more pleasant one.

Very frequently asked question

- - -

Can I easily mount my external drives or connect to the internet with Window Maker?

-

Yes, you can. Mounting external media is not the problem of a window manager to solve, but - a tipical Window Maker user can mount external media just as easily as any other desktop user. - If you use a dockapp like wmvolman or - wmudmount you are just a click away from - having your external media mounted on /media/VOLUME_LABEL.

- -

And you can just as easily manage your network connections using the standard nm-applet running - in a system tray like wmsystemtray on your dock.
