Localization
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
As soon as Window Maker is compiled with some options and gettext installed, it
|
|
is fully localizable. Check the INSTALL file.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Why do such a "thing" instead of setting the localization the "right" way?
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Fonts
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
It's possible to change the fonts in Window Maker, editing the WindowMaker file
|
|
or the WMGLOBAL file in ``~/GNUstep/Defaults``.
|
|
|
|
Once again the INSTALL file gives instructions on how to do it.
|
|
|
|
The specific file to edit varies according to the fonts to be changed.
|
|
|
|
The script *wsetfont* is provided to do the job.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
For KDE users, wkdemenu.pl is worth using.
|
|
|
|
From version 0.63.0 on, a new utility is available : *wmagnify*. It allows
|
|
magnification of the area under the mouse pointer.
