XAUMIX(1)

💖 XAUMIX(1) — the local manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so real quick, this is the local man page for xaumix, and no it is not "untitled", it's just shy. we're calling it XAUMIX(1) around here, periodt. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

xaumix — aumix wrapper for X

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

xaumix

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no args, just send it. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so xaumix is a wrapper, and what it does is pick one of rxvt, xterm, kterm, or one of the other possible xterm "clones", and then launch that terminal with aumix running inside it. it's giving personal assistant but make it shell script. 🫶

and the way that some X terminal emulators need an aumix colour scheme file to generate a sensible display? yeah, that's a whole thing. for example, rxvt and xterm behave differently with respect to the handling of colours, so you can't just treat them the same and expect it to slay. different emulator, different energy. 🌈

fun lore: this script was originally intended for use from the Debian menu system, but it can also be invoked manually from a shell, iykyk. lowkey flexible of it. 🙈

heads up bestie: the GTK+ interface to aumix largely supersedes it. so like, xaumix is iconic, but it's kind of the older sibling here. not me saying it's obsolete, the man page is saying it, okay. 😭
