DESCRIPTION
The IceWM window options configuration file is used to configure settings for individual application
windows. The window options that are established by this file when icewm(1) starts can be overridden
while running using the icesh(1) or icewmhints(1) utilities.
Contains settings to control window appearance and behaviour which are specific to applications or groups
of applications. Options can control the border, whether it appears on the task bar, the window list,
the system tray and the work spaces. Also its layer, geometry, whether it can be moved, resized and
closed. Full details for this file are explained in the "IceWM Manual".
