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

              Display version information.

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.
