NAME
quartz-wm -- Aqua Window Manager for the X Window System on OS X
SYNOPSIS
quartz-wm [--prefs-domain domain]
DESCRIPTION
quartz-wm is a window manager for the X Window System. It provides title-
bars for X11 windows that aim to match the look and feel of native Mac OS
X windows.
The following options are available:
--prefs-domain domain
This option can be used to override the domain used to read pref-
erences from. This is useful if you want to have multiple
X11.apps running at the same time.
CUSTOMIZATION
quartz-wm can be customized using the defaults(1) command. Examples are
shown using the default org.macports.X11 domain. If you use another
domain (either through the X11_PREFS_DOMAIN environment variable or the
--prefs-domain command line argument), then you need to substitute that
instead. quartz-wm can be forced to re-read these preferences by sending
it a SIGHUP using kill(1).
The available options are:
defaults write org.macports.X11 wm_ffm -bool true
Enables focus-follows-mouse mode. Windows belonging to the X
server may then be focused by moving the pointer over them, as
well as the default mode of clicking in them.
defaults write org.macports.X11 wm_click_through -bool true
Disables the default behavior of swallowing window-activating
mouse events.
defaults write org.macports.X11 wm_limit_size -bool true
Limit the size of each window to the size of the current head.
defaults write org.macports.x11 wm_focus_on_new_window -bool false
Don't tell X11.app to take focus when a new X11 window is cre-
ated.
defaults write org.macports.X11 wm_window_shading -bool true
Enables double clicking on a titlebar to shade the window
defaults write org.macports.X11 wm_auto_quit -bool true
Automatically quit quartz-wm (thus shutting down the X11 server)
when the last window is closed.
defaults write org.macports.X11 wm_auto_quit_timeout -int 3
Set the timeout for the auto-quit feature. If wm_auto_quit is
true, quartz-wm will wait this many seconds before attempting to
shutdown. If another window is created in that time, quartz-wm
will not shutdown.
defaults write org.macports.X11 wm_show_shortcut -bool true
Show each window's key equivalent, if it has one, in its title
bar.
LOGGING
quartz-wm sends messages to syslogd(8) using asl(3). These logs are sent
to the org.macports facility, and you can watch these logs using the fol-
lowing syslog(1) command:
$ syslog -w -k Facility eq org.macports
By default, debugging logs are filtered out. You can adjust the filter
to print debugging information for the running quartz-wm with this syslog
1 command
$ syslog -c quartz-wm -d
See syslog(1) or asl(3) for more information on syslog filtering.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
DISPLAY
This variable is used to determine which X server to use.
X11_PREFS_DOMAIN
This variable is used as Ar domain if the Fl -prefs-domain com-
mand line option is not given. If neither Fl -prefs-domain nor
X11_PREFS_DOMAIN are set, then the default value of org.mac-
ports.X11 is used instead.
DEBUG If this variable is set, debug logging will be printed to stderr
in addition to asl.
