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:

  • 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 '\$0' _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.
