NAME
wmbutton - dockable launcher application SYNOPSIS
wmbutton [OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the wmbutton command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. wmbutton is a 64x64 pixel application that displays nine buttons and can be used as dockapp for X window managers such as Window Maker, AfterStep, BlackBox, and Enlightenment. Each of these buttons can be configured via a configuration file to run just about any application you would like to. Basically, if you can type it in a shell command, wmbutton can run it. wmbutton is configured using a configuration file, ~/.wmbutton (or /etc/wmbutton.conf). Its format is documented in the "Configuration" section below. OPTIONS
-g <geometry> Window Geometry - ie: 64x64+10+10 -d <display> Display - ie: 127.0.0.1:0.0 -f <filename> Full path to configuration file. -b <filename> Full path to button xpm. -F <font> Custom tooltip font (e.g. -bh-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-12-*) -v Verbose Mode, gives extra debug output. -h Quick overview of available options. -m Disable Middle Mouse functionality. -s Swap tooltip colors. -n Turn off tooltips. CONFIGURATION
The configuration file is case sensitive. A # starts a comment, and lines consisting entirely of whitespace are ignored. The syntax is sim- ply: <buttonnumber> <command> command can be anything you can type in as a shell command. Buttons are numbered as follows: Left button 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Middle button 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Right button 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 To use other icons, wmbutton has to be rebuilt. View /usr/share/doc/wmbutton/README.Debian for further information. FILES
/etc/wmbutton.conf system wide wmbutton configuration file. ~/.wmbutton peruser wmbutton configuration file. If it doesn't exist, the system wide wmbutton configuration file will be used. AUTHOR
