WMI(5)

NAME
WMI - Window Manager Improved, a X11 window manager for hackers

DESCRIPTION
The file theme.conf is used to define the look and feel of WMI.

FORMAT
The basic format of all .conf and .session files is as follows: key=value # comment key=\#value # '\' escapes special characters # special characters are: ", =, \ and # If you've whitespaces within values, you've to quote them with '"' characters. You're free to let empty lines or whitespaces before and after keys, the '=' operator and the value. If you need a special character, you've to escape it using the '\' character, e.g. \=.

COLOR FORMAT
Note that you can vary the syntax for color triplet definitions as follows: key=\#nnnnnn or key="#nnnnnn" or key=blue This shows different escaping possibilities, the last case is useful for predefined X11 colors. The syntax: key=rgb:/nn/nn/nn is NOT supported.

TERMINOLOGY
All color definitions begin with prefix 'color.', afterwards the object is appended to this prefix, e.g. 'label', 'button'. There are four types of colors per object (note that some have only three colors): 'background', 'text', 'shine' and 'shadow'. Background means the background filling color of the object, text means the color of text, if any, shine and shadow means the color of the objects border, where top-left border is the shine border and bottom-right is the shadow border. If an object is distinguished into active and inactive it may have the focus, like frames or tabs.
