<h1>Localization</h1>
|
|
<p>As soon as Window Maker is compiled with some options and gettext installed, it
|
|
is fully localizable. Check the INSTALL file.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>Why do such a "thing" instead of setting the localization the "right" way?</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|

|
|
<div class="section" id="fonts">
|
|
<h1>Fonts</h1>
|
|
<p>It's possible to change the fonts in Window Maker, editing the WindowMaker file
|
|
or the WMGLOBAL file in <span class="docutils literal">~/GNUstep/Defaults</span>.</p>
|
|
<p>Once again the INSTALL file gives instructions on how to do it.</p>
|
|
<p>The specific file to edit varies according to the fonts to be changed.</p>
|
|
<p>The script <em>wsetfont</em> is provided to do the job.</p>
|

<div class="section" id="utilities">
|
|
<h1>Utilities</h1>
|
|
<p>Window Maker provides the user with some useful utilities.</p>
|
|
<p>There is a README file concerning these scripts in the util directory.</p>
|
|
<p>Almost each script has it's own man page recommended reading.</p>
|
|
<p>These utilities mainly concern the GUI: icons, styles, fonts, menus,
|
|
backgrounds.</p>
|
|
<p>A few of them deserve special interest as many users don't seem to know about
|
|
them.</p>
|
|
<p>The <em>wdwrite</em> script, for instance, writes data into the configuration files.</p>
|
|
<p>The <em>setstyle</em> (or <em>getstyle</em>) scripts are used to manage themes.</p>
|
|
<p><em>Wxcopy</em> and <em>wxpaste</em> allows copying and pasting using the X cutbuffer.</p>
|
|
<p>The first one makes part of the default applications menu, in the selection
|
|
item.</p>
|
|
<p>For KDE users, wkdemenu.pl is worth using.</p>
|
|
<p>From version 0.63.0 on, a new utility is available : <em>wmagnify</em>. It allows
|
|
magnification of the area under the mouse pointer.</p>
