Foreword
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
This tutorial is intended to help Window Maker users gain knowledge about the
|
|
many excellent features of this window manager. The official Users Guide is
|
|
worth reading. It can be reached from the `Window Maker site <{{ site.baseurl
|
|
}}/docs/guide_toc.html>`_. Other guides, tutorials and tips can be found at
|
|
various sites on the internet. An internet search for "Window Maker guide
|
|
how-to" might provide additional worthwhile information.
|
|
|
|
This guided tour is NOT supposed to be a README, INSTALL or FAQ. These are
|
|
worth reading, or more accurately, they should be considered COMPULSORY
|
|
reading.
|
|
|
|
The information in the guided tour is based upon Window Maker version 0.95.3.
|
|
Check your version by opening WPrefs.app (the Window Maker Preferences tool).
|
|
The version number is shown in the initial WPrefs window just below the "Window
|
|
Maker Preferences" title. You may also run the command "*wmaker --version*" in
|
|
a terminal (without the quotation marks). This command returns the installed
|
|
version number of Window Maker.

A special word of thanks

|
The original Window Maker Guided Tour site was created and maintained for many
|
|
years by Georges Tarbouriech. Where possible, I have retained his original
|
|
work - including the layout and structure of the pages, the descriptions of
|
|
Window Maker features, and even some of his original graphics. I want these
|
|
pages to be up-to-date, but I also want them to be (as much as possible) a
|
|
continuation of Georges' work. *Thank you, Georges*. (Having said that,
|
|
anything you find in error is without question my fault - so don't blame
|
|
Georges for any mistakes!) If you find an error, have a suggestion, or wish to
|
|
make a comment, you may contact me by email at
|
|
*bnance<atsigngoeshere>uu.edu*.
|
|
|
|
This tour will attempt to follow Window Maker development, but not
|
|
every update can be taken into account. In other words, this
|
|
tour can help you learn the basics, but does not pretend to provide all
|
|
of the detail or all of the latest information available in the
|
|
official README, INSTALL and FAQ documents provided by Window Maker
|
|
developers and maintainers.
