NAME

       wmtime - Window Maker dockapp that displays the time and date

SYNOPSIS

       wmtime [ OPTION ]

DESCRIPTION

       WMTime displays the time and date and gives you some nice additional features too. It is intended for docking in Window Maker.

       It currently provides:

       o   the time and date;

       o   a realtime morphing interface (analog <> digital mode);

       o   auto-scaled and anti-aliased hands;

       o   localization, displaying the day and date in various languages;

       o   three user-defined commands to launch.

OPTIONS

       -d, -digital
	      Display the digital clock on startup, instead of the analog clock.

       -display display
	      This option specifies the X server to contact; see X(7x).

       -geometry geometry
	      This option specifies the preferred position of clock; see X(7x).

       -n, -noseconds
	      Disables the second hand.

       -h     Show help information.

       -v     Print the version number.

USAGE

       The WMTime window is separated into top and bottom sections.  The top section contains a clock and the bottom section contains the date.

       The clock can be toggled between analog and digital modes.  To do this, click in the bottom section of the window.

       WMTime  can  also  be used to launch programs.  You may click either left, middle, or right mouse buttons in the top section of the window.
       The pre-configured program will be launched according to the mouse button clicked.  (see CONFIGURATION FILE below.)

       In order to move WMTime, drag on the outer edges.  These are not sensitive to mouse clicks.

DOCKING IN WINDOW MANAGERS

       Window Maker

	      Window Maker users should drag and drop the WMTime window on the Dock.  Then, right-click on the border of  the  window  and  select
	      "Settings...".  Check "Start when Window Maker is started".

       AfterStep

	      AfterStep users should put the following in their $HOME/.steprc

		       Wharf wmtime - MaxSwallow "wmtime" wmtime &

       Other window managers

	      WMTime runs nicely as a 64x64 shaped icon on your desktop.

CONFIGURATION FILE

       WMTime  can  launch  three  user-defined commands, triggered by left, middle and right mouse button clicks.  You can define the commands to
       launch in $HOME/.wmtimerc

	      left: xterm
	      middle: xload
	      right: xcalc
       If WMTime detects a $HOME/.wmtimerc file, it will launch the appropriate command when you click on the clock.

       The system administrator can define default commands in /etc/wmtimerc.  The administrator may also choose  to  "fix"  particular  commands,
       making it impossible for users to change.  These commands can be defined in /etc/wmtimerc.fixed, although this isn't a nice thing to do.

FILES

       /etc/wmtimerc
       $HOME/.wmtimerc
       /etc/wmtimerc.fixed

NAME

       lwm - Lightweight Window Manager for the X Window System

SYNTAX

       lwm [ -s session-id ]

DESCRIPTION

       Lwm is a window manager for the X Window System. It provides enough features to allow the user to manage their windows, and no more.

       Windows	are  surrounded  by a frame with a titlebar at the top next to a small box. The frame is a grey colour for all windows except that
       which has the input focus, where it is black.

       In the default configuration, lwm uses the enter-to-focus scheme, where moving the pointer into a window gives that window the input focus.
       Lwm  may  also  be  configured  to  use the click-to-focus scheme, where a window must be clicked on (with any button) to receive the input
       focus. Clicking on a window in this mode causes the window to be raised. Note that a click used to focus a window is  always  swallowed	by
       lwm, so clicking a button in a new window requires two clicks.

       A  button  1  click  on a window frame brings that window to the top. Dragging button 1 on the frame of a resizable window repositions that
       edge of the window. If a corner rather than an edge is dragged, then both edges forming the corner are repositioned. While you're reshaping
       a window, a little window pops up to show you the window's current size.

       In the default configuration, button 1 on the root window does nothing.

       Button 2 is used to drag a window by its frame, repositioning the window but maintaining its position in the window stack.

       In the default configuration, button 2 on the root window brings up a new shell.

       A  button  3  click  on a window frame hides that window.  Pressing button 3 on the root window brings up a menu of all the hidden windows.
       Releasing the button while over an item will unhide the named window.

       A button 3 click in the frame while Shift is held down pushes the window to the back, under any other windows. (Users  with  4-button  mice
       are encouraged to use their fourth button for this function.)

       A click with any button inside the little white box in a window's frame can be used to close the window.

OPTIONS

       Lwm accepts the following command line options:

       -s      specifies a client ID for the X Session Management system, and is used exclusively by session managers.

RESOURCES

       Lwm understands the following X resources:

       titlefont   font used in window titles

       popupFont   font used in popup window (menu/size indicator)

       border	   width in pixels of window borders

       button1	   program spawned when button 1 is clicked on the root window

       button2	   program spawned when button 2 is clicked on the root window

       focus	   focus mode, one of "enter" for enter-to-focus (or sloppy focus), or "click" for click-to-focus
