NAME

       wistrut - The wmii EWMH strut manager

SYNOPSIS

       wistrut [-HV] <window|class>...

       wistrut -v

DESCRIPTION

       wistrut  automatically  sets  EWMH struts on windows for programs which don't provide such
       functionality. This allows you to leave utility windows onscreen without obscuring managed
       clients.  Instead, whatever part of the screen is occupied by the window will be left free
       by wmii, provided it is less  than  half  of  the  screen  width  or  height.  Struts  are
       automatically  updated when the managed windows are moved or resized, and are only applied
       if the window is touching an edge of the screen.

       wistrut may be used with any EWMH compatible window manager.

ARGUMENTS

       All non-option arguments constitute window IDs or regular expressions. In the latter case,
       the any window whose <name>:<class>:<title> (as used in wmii's colrules and tagrules) will
       be managed.

       -H

              Only set horizontal struts. Normally, wistrut locates struts in  the  direction  of
              the  narrowest dimension of the window, provided it is touching a screen edge. With
              this option set, they will always be allocated on either the left or right  of  the
              screen. Never the top or bottom.

       -V

              Only set vertical struts. See -H.

       -v

BUGS

       There is no way to remove struts from a window other than to move it away from the edge of
       the screen and kill wistrut.
