NAME
dunst - dmenu-ish universal notification system SYNOPSIS
dunst [-geometry geom] [-fn font] [-nf/nb/lf/lb/cf/cb color] [-to/nto/lto/cto secs] [-format fmt] [-key key] [-mod mod] [-mon n] [-v] DESCRIPTION
dunst is a lightweight notification-daemon for the libnotify. dunst displays messages received via dbus or as commandline argument in a fashion similar to dmenu. OPTIONS
-h/--help display help message. -fn font defines the font or font set used. -lb/nb/cb color defines the background color of low/normal/critical messages. -lf/nf/cf color defines the foreground color of low/normal/critical messages. -to secs defines the default timeout. Can be (partially) overridden by the following options. -lto/nto/cto secs timeouts for low/normal/critical messages. -key key close window by pressing key. See also -mod. -mod modifier defines the modifier used in conjunction with -key. Available modifiers are: ctrl, shift, mod1-mod4. This option can be used multiple times to combine modifiers. -format fmt defines the format of the message. See FORMAT. -mon n show the notification on monitor n. -s sort messages by urgency. -ns don't sort messages by urgency. -geometry [{width}]x{height}][+/-{x}+/-{y}] The geometry of the message window. The height is measured in lines everything else in pixels. If the width is omitted but the height is given ("-geometry x2"), the message window expands over the whole screen (dmenu-like). If width is 0, the window expands to the longest message displayed. A positive x is measured from the left, a negative from the right side of the screen. Y is measured from the top and down respectevly. see also EXAMPLES show the notification on monitor n. -v Increase verbosity. Can be used multiple times. -config file use alternative config file. FORMAT
fmt is a string containing placeholders. The placeholders will be replaced with the corresponding text, or if the text is not present, nothing. Possible placeholders are: %a appname %s summary %b body %i iconname (including its path) %I iconname (without its path) COLORS
Every option that needs a color as argument accepts #RGB, #RRGGBB and X color names. NOTIFY-SEND dunst is able to get different colors for a message via notify-send. In order to do that you have to add a hint via the -h option. notify-send -h string:fgcolor:#ff4444 notify-send -h string:bgcolor:#4444ff -h string:fgcolor:#ff4444 CONFIGURATION
An example configuration file is included (usually /usr/share/doc/dunst/dunstrc.example). To change the configuration, copy this file to ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc and edit it accordingly. AUTHOR

NAME
aewm - An Exiguous Window Manager SYNOPSIS
aewm [options...] DESCRIPTION
aewm is an X11 window manager with very few features. It draws a small titlebar above top-level windows, allows you to manipulate them with the mouse, and starts other programs when the root window is clicked. That's also about all it does, so don't expect anything nifty. The titlebar contains a small box in the upper right corner. Clicking the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd buttons on the main area of the titlebar will raise, move, or lower the window, respectively. Clicking on the box will respectively hide, resize, or close the window. By default, clicking on the root window with button 1 will run aemenu(1x), and button 3 will start a new xterm(1x), and and button 2 will run aemenu --switch. aemenu (or another equivalent program) is required to unhide hidden windows; aewm does not do this itself. OPTIONS
--config file, -rc file Read configuration options from file. This overrides options which precede it in the command line. --font xfld, -fn xfld Draw window titles using the font defined by xfld. --bgcolor color, -bg color Set the background color of window frames. --fgcolor color, -fg color Set the foreground color of window frames. --bdcolor color, -bd color Set the color of window borders. --bdwidth width, -bw width Draw window borders width pixels wide. --padding width, -p width Draw width pixels of space between window borders and window titles. --new1 command, -1 cmd Run command when button 1 is clicked on the root window. --new2 command, -2 cmd Run command when button 2 is clicked on the root window. --new3 command, -3 cmd Run command when button 3 is clicked on the root window. --help, -h Print a short help message to stdout and exit. --version, -v Print version information to stdout and exit. ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY Sets which X display will be managed by aewm. SEE ALSO
