<h2><a name="loc">Localization</a></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
As soon as Window Maker is compiled with some options and gettext
|
||||
installed, it
|
||||
is fully localizable. Check the INSTALL file. <br>
|
||||
|
||||
However, localization of menus can be used without the LANG environment
|
||||
variable
|
||||
set. Using pl menu allows to get menus in any available language
|
||||
without setting
|
||||
this variable. <br>
|
||||
|
||||
Why do such a "thing" instead of setting the localization the "right"
|
||||
way? <br>
|
||||
|
||||
For some reasons users may want to keep the system default language
|
||||
instead of
|
||||
defining a new localization. One of the main reason is that most
|
||||
software doesn't
|
||||
exist in all languages. <br>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2><a name="font">Fonts</a></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
It's possible to change the fonts in Window Maker, editing the
|
||||
WindowMaker file
|
||||
or the WMGLOBAL file in ~/GNUstep/Defaults. <br>
|
||||
|
||||
Once again the INSTALL file gives instructions on how to do it. <br>
|
||||
|
||||
The specific file to edit varies according to the fonts to be changed. <br>
|
||||
|
||||
The script <span style="font-style: italic;">wsetfont</span> is
|
||||
provided to do the job.
|
||||
<h2><a name="util">Utilities</a></h2>
|
||||
|
||||
Window Maker provides the user with some useful utilities. <br>
|
||||
|
||||
There is a README file concerning these scripts in the util directory. <br>
|
||||
|
||||
Almost each script has it's own man page recommended reading. <br>
|
||||
|
||||
These utilities mainly concern the GUI: icons, styles, fonts, menus,
|
||||
backgrounds. <br>
|
||||
|
||||
A few of them deserve special interest as many users don't seem to know
|
||||
about them. <br>
|
||||
|
||||
The <span style="font-style: italic;">wdwrite</span> script, for
|
||||
instance, writes data into the
|
||||
configuration
|
||||
files. <br>
|
||||
|
||||
The <span style="font-style: italic;">setstyle</span> (or <span style="font-style: italic;">getstyle</span>) scripts are used to
|
||||
manage themes. <br>
|
||||
|
||||
<span style="font-style: italic;">Wxcopy</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">wxpaste</span> allows copying and pasting
|
||||
using the X cutbuffer. <br>
|
||||
|
||||
The first one makes part of the default applications menu, in the
|
||||
selection
|
||||
item. <br>
|
||||
|
||||
For KDE users, wkdemenu.pl is worth using. <br>
|
||||
|
||||
From version 0.63.0 on, a new utility is available : <span style="font-style: italic;">wmagnify</span>. It allows magnification
|
||||
of the area under the mouse pointer.<br>

Utilities
|

---------
|
||||
|
||||
Window Maker provides the user with some useful utilities.
|
||||
|
||||
There is a README file concerning these scripts in the util directory.
|
||||
|
||||
Almost each script has it's own man page recommended reading.
|
||||
|
||||
These utilities mainly concern the GUI: icons, styles, fonts, menus,
|
||||
backgrounds.
|
||||
|
||||
A few of them deserve special interest as many users don't seem to know about
|
||||
them.
|
||||
|
||||
The *wdwrite* script, for instance, writes data into the configuration files.
|
||||
|
||||
The *setstyle* (or *getstyle*) scripts are used to manage themes.
|
||||
|
||||
*Wxcopy* and *wxpaste* allows copying and pasting using the X cutbuffer.
|
||||
|
||||
The first one makes part of the default applications menu, in the selection
|
||||
item.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
From version 0.63.0 on, a new utility is available : *wmagnify*. It allows
|
||||
magnification of the area under the mouse pointer.
