pankso@7 | 42 <h3>X11 - X Window System</h3> |
pankso@7 | 43 <p> |
pankso@7 | 44 The X Window System or X11 provides a window manager running on |
pankso@7 | 45 top of a X server. SliTaz uses by default the lightweight X server called |
pankso@7 | 46 <code>Xvesa</code> from the Xorg project (<a href="http://www.x.org/">www.x.org</a>). |
pankso@7 | 47 Xvesa can be started with the Slim login manager or directly from a Linux console |
pankso@7 | 48 with the command <code>startx</code>, but for this you must first disable the |
pankso@7 | 49 Login Manager. To reconfigure your X session you can use <code>tazx</code> |
pankso@7 | 50 as root or as the current user if you start X from the command line. |
pankso@7 | 51 </p> |
pankso@7 | 52 |
pankso@7 | 53 <a name="slim"></a> |
pankso@7 | 54 <h3>Slim - Simple Login Manager</h3> |
pankso@7 | 55 <p> |
pankso@7 | 56 Slim is a lightweight session manager that is very easy to configure and is |
pankso@7 | 57 customizable using system themes. The configuration file is found in |
pankso@7 | 58 <code>/etc/slim.conf</code>, it defines window managers available via the |
pankso@7 | 59 <code>F1</code> key, the default user or theme and the X window system parameters. |
pankso@7 | 60 Slim offers special users commands like <code>console</code> to help manage |
pankso@7 | 61 the session. |
pankso@7 | 62 </p> |
pankso@7 | 63 <p> |
pankso@7 | 64 In LiveCD mode you can disable Slim with the boot option <code>screen=text</code>. |
pankso@7 | 65 On an installed system you can remove the package or delete slim from the |
pankso@7 | 66 <code>RUN_DAEMONS</code> variable in <code>/etc/rcS.conf</code>. |
pankso@7 | 67 </p> |
pankso@7 | 68 <p> |
pankso@7 | 69 More details and themes can be found on the |
pankso@7 | 70 <a href="http://slim.berlios.de">website.</a> |

pankso@7 | 74 <h3>JWM - Window manager</h3> |
pankso@7 | 75 <p> |
pankso@7 | 76 JWM (Joe's Window Manger) is a lightweight Window Manager, easy to use, fast, |
pankso@7 | 77 stable and insanely configurable. The menu and theme can all be changed from a |
pankso@7 | 78 single configuration file found in your home directory: <code>~/.jwmrc</code>, |
pankso@7 | 79 the file uses XML syntax and the code is nicely colored if you use Geany to |
pankso@7 | 80 edit it. To add an entry in the menu you can use the following example: |
pankso@7 | 81 </p> |
pankso@7 | 82 <pre class="script"> |
pankso@7 | 83 <Program icon="kino.png" label="Kino (Video Editor)">kino</Program> |
pankso@7 | 84 </pre> |
pankso@7 | 85 <p> |
pankso@7 | 86 The <a href="http://www.joewing.net/programs/jwm/config.shtml">JWM Web site</a> |
pankso@7 | 87 has got more information on how to configure the application to your needs |
pankso@7 | 88 and preferences. |

pankso@7 | 92 <h3>Enlightenment (e17)</h3> |
pankso@7 | 93 <p> |
pankso@7 | 94 Enlightenment aka e17 is a lightweight and fast desktop environment that can be |
pankso@7 | 95 configured graphically. To install e17: |
pankso@7 | 96 </p> |
pankso@7 | 97 <pre> # tazpkg get-install enlightenment |
pankso@7 | 98 </pre> |
pankso@7 | 99 <p> |
pankso@7 | 100 Logout your current X session, type <code>F1</code> at Slim login and choose |
pankso@7 | 101 <code>e17</code> to start Enlightenment. |
pankso@7 | 102 </p> |
pankso@7 | 103 |
pankso@7 | 104 <a name="openbox"></a> |
pankso@7 | 105 <h3>Openbox</h3> |
pankso@7 | 106 <p> |
pankso@7 | 107 Openbox is a lightweight window manager than can be configured using the obconf |
pankso@7 | 108 utility. To install openbox: |
pankso@7 | 109 </p> |
pankso@7 | 110 <pre># tazpkg get-install openbox |
pankso@7 | 111 # tazpkg get-install obconf |
pankso@7 | 112 </pre> |
pankso@7 | 113 <p> |
pankso@7 | 114 Logout your current X session, type <code>F1</code> at Slim login and choose |
pankso@7 | 115 <code>openbox</code> to start Openbox. To make Openbox your default Window |
pankso@7 | 116 Manager just type: <code>tazx openbox</code>. |
pankso@7 | 117 </p> |
pankso@7 | 118 <p> |
pankso@7 | 119 Note: you can also use the configuration file <code>menu.xml</code> found |
pankso@7 | 120 in <code>/etc/xdg/openbox</code> to edit menu items. Here's an example using |
pankso@7 | 121 Htop: |
pankso@7 | 122 </p> |
pankso@7 | 123 <pre class="script"> |
pankso@7 | 124 <item label="Htop"> |
pankso@7 | 125 <action name="Execute"><command>xterm -e htop</command></action> |
pankso@7 | 126 </item> |
pankso@7 | 127 </pre> |
pankso@7 | 128 <p> |
