Description
===========
Window Maker is a window manager designed to emulate the look and feel of
part of the NEXTSTEP(tm) GUI. It's supposed to be relatively fast and small,
feature rich, easy to configure and easy to use, with a simple and elegant
appearance borrowed from NEXTSTEP(tm).
Window Maker is the GNU window manager for the X Window System. It was
designed to emulate the look and feel of part of the NEXTSTEP(tm) GUI. It's
supposed to be relatively fast and small, feature rich, easy to configure and
easy to use, with a simple and elegant appearance borrowed from NEXTSTEP(tm).
Window Maker was designed keeping integration with GNUstep in mind and is the
"official" window manager for it. Read more about GNUstep further on this
file.

Window Maker is also KDE and GNOME compliant, which means you can use
it as the window manager of these desktop environments and even fully
replace kwm with wmaker if you use KDE. In that case, you would benefit
from the best of both worlds, being able to take advantage of the usability
and unique features of Window Maker, while still having access to KDE
features such as the panel, pager and tight integration with all KDE
applications. I've known of many cases where people keep switching KDE
and Window Maker depending on their mood or needs of the day, but now
you don't need that anymore :)
As GNOME components become more available, the same can be said about it.
\end{marketing babble}
Hints (information given by applications to integrate well with the window
manager) for Motif(tm), OPEN LOOK(tm), KDE and GNOME are also supported.
So you can replace any of the window managers for these environments
with Window Maker while keeping most, if not all, of the window manager
functionality.
Window Maker was previously called WindowMaker.

OpenL**k support
================
I guess many users, mainly from the academic world, have to use
applications written using the OpenL**k toolkits, so having support
for these apps must be of some use.
To enable, use --enable-openlook when doing the configure. Note that
not everything is implemented.
Implemented stuff include decoration hints and the push-pin. Not implemented
stuff include _SUN_WINDOW_STATE (the compose led state stuff), header (not
sure what's it) and footer strings.
Please give me feedback if something doesn't work. If the feature is
already implemented, but is not working because of a bug, I'll try to
have that fixed. If it's a non-implemented feature and you mention that
it's important (ie: not just cosmetical), I'll consider implementing it.
The "out" state of the pushpin is emulated as a pushed-in close button.
Just click on the button to make it pushed-out, which corresponds
to the pinned-in state of the pushpin. If you push again in the pushed-out
close button, it will act as a normal close button: it will close the window.
