NAME

       wmanager — choose a window manager and launch it

SYNOPSIS

       wmanager [OPTIONS ...]

DESCRIPTION

       The wmanager program displays a choice of the window managers listed in the ~/.wmanagerrc file.  When one
       is  picked,  the related command is written to standard output, intended to be used by shell scripts.  If
       the program is exited without choosing a window manager, “-1” is written to standard output.

       -fg COLOR
               Set the foreground color.

       -bg COLOR
               Set the background color.

       -bg2 COLOR
               Set the widget background color

       -di[splay] host:n.n
               Set the X display.

       -dn[d], -nod[nd]
               Enable/disable drag & drop, probably does nothing.

       -g[eometry] WxH+X+Y
               Set the window size and location.

       -i[conic]
               Start as iconified.

       -k[bd], -nok[bd]
               Enable/disable keyboard support.

       -na[me] CLASSNAME
               Set the X window class.

       -s[cheme] SCHEME
               Unknown, probably does nothing useful.

       -ti[tle] WINDOWTITLE
               Set the window title.

       -to[oltips], -not[ooltips]
               Enable/disable tooltips, probably does nothing.

EXAMPLE

       To start using wmanager, create a ~/.wmanagerrc file - generally  with  wmanagerrc-update(1)  -  and  add
       something like the following at the end of your ~/.xsession file:

             WM="$(wmanager -geometry +570+585)"
             ...
             exec $WM

       See also wmanager-loop(1) for a nicer way to start wmanager.
