WPrefs(1)

✨ WPrefs(1) — WPrefs, the Window Maker Config Tool ✨

okay bestie, so the manual name is WPrefs(1) and it's the General Commands Manual 🎀. Let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME

WPrefs — Window Maker configuration tool 🦋

💖 SYNOPSIS

WPrefs [options]

🧚 DESCRIPTION

okay so WPrefs.app is the preferences "editor" for the WindowMaker window manager and literally it's giving main character energy ✨ It can be used to set most of the preference options of WindowMaker and define its applications menu. It can also change some settings that do not belong to WindowMaker, which is so iconic 👑

Although WPrefs.app is designed to be super easy to use, bestie, you should still read the user guide so you're fully aware of all the available options and other WindowMaker features that aren't related to configuration 📖🫶

Only options that have different values than what is found in the system-wide configuration file get saved. So if it matches the system default, it doesn't get written 💅

🎀 OPTIONS

• -display host:display.screen — specify the display to use 🖥️
• --help — print a help message with the list of options 💜
• --version — print the version of Window Maker that the program comes from 🌈

🍓 FILES

• ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker — general Window Maker defaults 🌸
• /etc/GNUstep/Defaults/WindowMaker — system-wide Window Maker defaults 🔥
• ~/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu — contains the name of the file to read the root menu from, or the menu itself, in property list format 🦋
• ~/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/autostart — this script is automatically executed when Window Maker starts. WPrefs saves the mouse speed configuration as a call to xset here ⭐
