|
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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 <strong>understand</strong> it, which
|
|
coincidentally requires that you <strong>read</strong> 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.</p>

|
|
<p><strong>Can I easily mount my external drives or connect to the internet with
|
|
Window Maker?</strong></p>
|
|
<p>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
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/raorn/wmvolman">wmvolman</a> or
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/wmudmount">wmudmount</a> you are just a
|
|
click away from having your external media mounted on <cite>/media/VOLUME_LABEL</cite>.</p>
|
|
<p>And you can just as easily manage your network connections using the standard
|
|
<cite>nm-applet</cite> running in a system tray like <a class="reference external" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/wmsystemtray">wmsystemtray</a> on your dock.</p>
