wmsetbg - sets the background on the X11 display
SYNOPSIS
wmsetbg [-display] [--version] [--help] [{-b|--back-color} color] [{-t|--tile}|{-e|--center}|{-s|--scale}|{-a|--maxscale} image]
[{-d|--dither}|{-m|--match}] [-u|--update-wmaker] [{-D|--update-domain} domain] [{-c|--colors} cpc] [{-p|--parse} texture]
[{-w|--workspace} workspace]
DESCRIPTION
wmsetbg reads the specified image (XPM, PNG, jpeg, Tiff, raw PPM) and puts it on the root window. It can either scale the image or tile it
to make it fit the root window. Window Maker uses this command internally to set the root window image on start up.
OPTIONS
-a|--maxscale
scales the specified image preserving its aspect ratio
-b|--back-color
the specified color is used as the background color for the texture. Window Maker temporarely sets the background to this color
while loading and processing the texture. You can specify colors using their X11 names or as an RGB tiplet (either as
"rgb:RR/GG/BB" or "#RRGGBB") (reference to appropriate manpage should be here). In the later case color is a quoted string.
-e|--center
centers the specified image
-t|--tile
tiles the specified image
-s|--scale
scales the specified image (default)
-d|--dither
dithers colors
-m|--match
matches colors
-u|--update-wmaker
updates the Window Maker defaults database
-D|--update-domain
updates the specified domain database
-c|--colors
colors per channel to use
-p|--parse
parses the specified texture as a proplist style texture
-w|--workspace
update background only for the specified workspace

wmaker - X11 window manager with a NEXTSTEP look
SYNOPSIS
wmaker [-options]
DESCRIPTION
Window Maker is a X11 window manager with a NEXTSTEP look. It tries to emulate NeXT's look as much as possible, but it deviates from it as
necessary.
Please note this manpage has been modified to reflect changes in the Debian installation of Window Maker.
OPTIONS -display host:display.screen
specify display to use. On multiheaded machines, Window Maker will automatically manage all screens. If you want Window Maker to
manage only a specific screen, you must supply the screen number you want to have managed with the -display command line argument.
For example, if you want Window Maker to manage only screen 1, start it as: wmaker -display :0.1
--no-cpp

--no-dock
do not show the application Dock
--no-clip
do not show the workspace Clip
--no-autolaunch
do not autolaunch applications
--dont-restore

--locale locale
specify the locale to use
--create-stdcmap
create the standard colormap hint in PseudoColor visuals
--visual-id
visual id of visual to use
--static
do not update or save configurations
--version

--visual-id

--help print a brief help message
FILES
~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker
general Window Maker defaults.
~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMState
information about the Dock and Clip. DON'T edit this while running Window Maker. It will be overwritten.
~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu
Contains the name of the file to read the root menu from or the menu itself, in property list format.
~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMWindowAttributes
Attributes for different application classes and instances. Use the Attribute Editor (right drag the application's title bar, select
Attributes) instead of modifying this file directly. There are just a few options not available using the Attributes Editor.
/etc/GNUstep/Defaults/
All the above-mentioned files are READ from here if not found except for WMState, which is COPIED from here. No matter where they
are read from, if it's necessary to write configuration changes back into this files, user's files will be written to.
~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/autostart
This script is automatically executed when Window Maker is started.
~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/exitscript
This script is automatically executed immediately before Window Maker is exited. Note: If you need to run something that requires
the X server to be running from this script, make sure you do not use the SHUTDOWN command from the root menu to exit Window Maker.
Otherwise, the X server might be shut down before the script is executed.
~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/
The menu file indicated in WMRootMenu is looked for here...
/etc/X11/WindowMaker/
and here, in that order. Unless, the indicated path is an absolute path.
~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Pixmaps/
Window Maker looks for pixmaps here
~/GNUstep/Library/Icons/
Window Maker looks for icons here
~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Backgrounds/
Window Maker looks for backgrounds here
~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Styles/
Window Maker looks for style files here (not true... it looks like it does, but you have to specify the full path anyway, it's just
a place to keep things nicely ordered)
~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Themes/
Window Maker looks for theme files here (ibid)
/usr/share/WindowMaker/Pixmaps/
System-wide (Window Maker-specific) pixmaps are located here
/usr/share/WindowMaker/Styles/
System wide styles are here
/usr/share/WindowMaker/Themes/
Guess... ;-)
ENVIRONMENT
GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT
specifies the initial path for the Defaults directory. "Defaults/" is appended to this variable to determine the actual location of
the databases. If the varialbe is not set, it defaults to "~/GNUstep"
GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT
specifies the location of the system-wide local GNUstep directory (this is useful, for example, in those cases where the system-wide
location is really a network wide location). If this variable is empty, GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT is looked for.
GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT
specifies the location of the system-wide GNUstep directory. If this variable is empty, it defaults to /etc/GNUstep
