+[Pekwm] is a young WindowManager that aims to be lean and mean and look attractive at the same time, without being sold on EyeCandy at the cost of [Bloat]
. Features include:
-I
'll AddToMe later
.
+* grouping windows in a single frame à la [PWM]
+* keygrabber with keychains support
+* configurable mouse actions
+* configurable root and window menu
+* Xinerama support
+* configurable window placement policy
+* basic pixmap theming
+* autoprops, ie rules to automatically set window properties such as stickiness, decorations, grouping etc
+* dynamic menus regenerated on every view by parsing the output of external programs
+
+The WindowManager also has basic support for WindowMaker dock applications.
+
+With all of this, it still attempts to concentrate on its task, and not offer features that can be had by way of using external tools.

+!!Hints
+
+Try putting this in your window menu definition:
+
+ Entry = "Info" {
+ Actions = "Exec \
+ ID=\$( xprop -root
'=\$' _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW | cut -f2 -d= ) \
+ ( \
+ xprop -id \$ID \
+ echo '--------------------' \
+ xwininfo -id \$ID | tail +4 \
+ ) | xmessage -center -buttons close -title 'xprop / xwininfo' -file - &"
+ }
+
+This will give you a new window menu entry called __Info__ which brings up a box with the information and properties of the associated window
.
