Utilities included
pekwm is not a desktop environment nor a pure minimalist window
manager. It tries to go by the Swedish word "Lagom", not too much
not too little.
In addition to the window manager, pekwm comes with:
-
pekwm_bg: wallpaper setting application, integrated with
the pekwm themes.
- pekwm_ctrl: control pekwm from the command line.
-
pekwm_dialog: dialog, much like xdialog but themed from the
pekwm theme and with image support.
- pekwm_panel: configurable panel application.
- pekwm_screenshot: screenshot utility.
- pekwm_theme: theme management utility.
Window Grouping
Window Grouping first seen in PWM brings tabbing to all
applications. Most modern applications now have tabs in
themselves but still does not allow grouping together
different applications into one group.
In the illustration pekwm (with a PWM theme) shows an
xterm window and a xcalc window grouped together.
Decor Rules
Part of the automatic properties, or autoprops for short,
pekwm support setting the decoration of windows based on
the properties of a window.
In the illustration pekwm shows the effect of the below
decor rules setting a warning decoration on remote
terminals.
DecorRules {
Property = "term,^XTerm" {
Title = "@$_HOSTNAME"
Decor = "Default"
}
Property = "term,^XTerm" {
Title = "@"
Decor = "Warning"
}
}
