WPrefs.app
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
The WindowMaker Prerefences Application
|
|
|
|
|
|
WPrefs.app is the preferences "editor" for the WindowMaker window
|
|
manager. It can be used to set most of the preference options of WindowMaker
|
|
and define it's applications menu. It also can change some settings
|
|
that do not belong to WindowMaker.
|
|
|
|
Although WPrefs.app is designed to be easy to use, you should read the
|
|
user guide to be fully aware of all available options and other features
|
|
of WindowMaker that are not related to configuration.
|
|
|
|
To run WPrefs, do not put it in your search path. Instead, run it
|
|
with the full path, like /usr/local/GNUstep/Applications/WPrefs.app/WPrefs
|
|
Then, dock it's application icon. The dock will automatically detect it's
|
|
icon and use it.
|
|
|
|
If you change configuration often, you might want to leave WPrefs
|
|
always running, leaving it hidden while not in use. You can also make it
|
|
be automatically started with WindowMaker and toggle the Start Hidden
|
|
option in the attributes panel for the WPrefs window. Of course, it will
|
|
use some memory, but by leaving it hidden it'll probably be swapped out and
|
|
stay there until you unhide it.
|
|
|
|
WPrefs is still under development. Some of the configuration options are
|
|
not yet configurable from WPrefs, notably the appearance related options.
|
|
It might contain bugs that can corrupt your configuration files, so backup
|
|
the contents of the ~/GNUstep/Defaults directory before using it.
|
|
|

|
|
|
License
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Like Window Maker, WPrefs is distributed with through the General Public
|
|
License (as stated in the file COPYING).
|
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
The mouse speed configuration is saved as a call for xset in
|
|
~/G/D/L/W/autostart. WindowMaker calls this file when it is started.
|
|
|
|
If you don't want or can't use the menu definition section, do not
|
|
open it's section (or if you do open it, do not Save), or WPrefs will
|
|
overwrite your ~/G/D/WMRootMenu file.
|
|
|
|
Only options that have different values than what is found in the
|
|
system-wide configuration file is saved.
|
|
|
|
WPrefs only supports property list menus. If you have a plain text file
|
|
menu, it will not be read by WPrefs. You can either recreate the menu from
|
|
scratch or not use WPrefs for menu definition. The old menu will not be
|
|
overwritten if you recreate it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Build
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
WPrefs will be built automatically and installed with the rest of WindowMaker.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Customized Installation
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
By default, WPrefs.app will be installed in the GNUstep applications directory,
|
|
which is /usr/local/GNUstep/Applications. If you want to install it somewhere
|
|
else, like in /some_weird_path/Applications, set the GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT
|
|
environment variable to some_weird_path before running configure for
|
|
WindowMaker. You can also configure Window Maker supplying the --with-gnustepdir
|
|
option to configure, like ./configure --with-gnustepdir=/usr/GNUstep/Applications
|
|
If you change your mind after installing, you can move the .app directory
|
|
to one of the following GNUstep/Applications directories:
|
|
|
|
/usr/GNUstep/Applications
|
|
|
|
OR
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/GNUstep/Applications
|
|
|
|
OR
|
|
|
|
~/GNUstep/Applications
|
