Overview

NOTE: THIS MAN PAGE IS INCOMPLETE! You should refer to the online reference manual at:

or use the included `scwm.el' emacs mode and its interactive documentation features (very nice!).

Scwm is the Scheme Configurable Window Manager. This is a highly dynamic and extensible window manager for the X Window System (based originally on fvwm2 , but now much enhanced) with Guile Scheme as the configuration/extension language. Nearly all decorations can be changed at run-time or per-window, and eventually many decoration styles and additional features will be supported through dynamically loaded code. A powerful protocol is provided for interacting with the window manager while it is running. Much more information is available in the scwm info entry.

The scwm command is used to start the window manager itself. scwmexec is used to pass a single command expression to the window manager, and prints the resulting output. scwmrepl starts an interactive session with the window manager.
