NAME

       aewm - An Exiguous Window Manager

SYNOPSIS

       aewm [options...]

DESCRIPTION

       aewm is an X11 window manager with very few features. It draws a small titlebar above top-
       level windows, allows you to manipulate them with the mouse,  and  starts  other  programs
       when  the  root window is clicked. That's also about all it does, so don't expect anything
       nifty.

       The titlebar contains a small box in the upper right corner. Clicking the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd
       buttons  on  the  main  area  of  the  titlebar  will  raise,  move,  or lower the window,
       respectively. Clicking on the box will respectively hide, resize, or close the window.

       By default, clicking on the root window with button 1 will run aemenu(1x),  and  button  3
       will start a new xterm(1x), and and button 2 will run aemenu --switch.  aemenu (or another
       equivalent program) is required to unhide hidden windows; aewm does not do this itself.
