-
- Avwm was inspired by olvwm (an X11 virtual window manager).
- Avwm uses SetFunction () to replace window-manipulating functions with its
- own replacement functions. Every time a replacement function is called it
- notifies avwm and calls the original function.
-
- Intuition itself manipulates windows directly (e.g. when the sizing gadget
- is used SizeWindow () isn't called). To work around this problem avwm
- checks the list of windows on the Workbench Screen in regular intervals.
- SetFunction () in now no longer used by default but can be activated
- with the -s option.
-
- By default avwm expects the workbench screen to have three times the
- visible horizontal size and twice the visible vertical size. It uses
- MoveScreen to move between the resulting 6 `screens'.
-
- If the -m options is used it keeps invisible windows on the lower part of
- a Workbench screen with twice the visible vertical size and uses MoveWindow
- to move the windows of one of the six virtual areas onto the visible part
- of the screen.
-
- Bugs:
- A window placed on the border of several areas can
- only be `touched' in the upper right area.
