NAME
scrotwm - window manager for X11SYNOPSIS
scrotwmDESCRIPTION
scrotwm is a minimalistic window manager that tries to stay out of the way so that valuable screen real estate can be used for much more important stuff. It has sane defaults and does not require one to learn a language to do any configuration. It was written by hackers for hackers and it strives to be small, compact and fast.When scrotwm starts up, it reads settings from its configuration file, scrotwm.conf See the Sx CONFIGURATION FILES section below.
The following notation is used throughout this page:
- M
- Meta
- S
- Shift
- Aq Name
- Named key
- M1
- Mouse button 1
- M3
- Mouse button 3
scrotwm is very simple in its use. Most of the actions are initiated via key or mouse bindings. See the Sx BINDINGS section below for defaults and customizations.
CONFIGURATION FILES
scrotwm first tries to open the user specific file, ~/.scrotwm.conf If that file is unavailable, it then tries to open the global configuration file /etc/scrotwm.confThe format of the file is <keyword> = <setting>. For example:
color_focus = red
Enabling or disabling an option is done by using 1 or 0 respectively.
The file supports the following keywords:
- color_focus
- Border color of the currently focussed window.
- color_unfocus
- Border color of unfocussed windows.
- bar_enabled
- Enable or disable status bar.
- bar_border Bq x
- Color of the status bar border in screen x
- bar_color Bq x
- Color of the status bar window in screen x
- bar_font_color Bq x
- Color of the font in status bar in screen x
- bar_font
- Status bar font.
- bar_action
- External script that populates additional information in the status bar, such as battery life.
- bar_delay
- Update frequency, in seconds, of external script that populates the status bar.
- clock_enabled
- Enable or disable displaying the clock in the status bar. Disable by setting to 0 so a custom clock could be used in the bar_action script.
- spawn_term
- External application that gets spawned when M-S- Aq Return is used.
- dialog_ratio
- Some applications have dialogue windows that are too small to be useful. This ratio is the screen size to what they will be resized. For example, 0.6 is 60% of the physical screen size.
- region
- Allocates a custom region, removing any autodetected regions which occupy the same space on the screen. Defined in the format screen[<idx>]:WIDTHxHEIGHT+X+Y, e.g. screen[1]:800x1200+0+0.
- screenshot_enabled
- Enable or disable screenshot capability.
- screenshot_app
- Set to the script that will take screenshots. It will be called with "full" or "window" as parameter 1 to indicate what screenshot action is expected. The script shall handle those cases accordingly.
- term_width
- Set a preferred minimum width for the terminal If this value is greater than 0, scrotwm will attempt to adjust the font sizes in the terminal to keep the terminal width above this number as the window is resized. Only xterm(1) is currently supported. The xterm(1) binary must not be setuid or setgid, which it is by default on most systems. Users may need to set spawn term to use an alternate copy of the xterm(1) binary without the setgid bit set.
- modkey
- Change mod key. Mod1 is generally the ALT key and Mod4 is the windows key on a PC.
- bind Bq x
- Bind key combo to action x See the Sx BINDINGS section below.
- quirk Bq c:n
- Add "quirk" for windows with class c and name n See the Sx QUIRKS section below.
Colors need to be specified per the XQueryColor(3) specification and fonts need to be specified per the XQueryFont(3) specification.

Custom bindings in the configuration file are specified as follows:

Aq action is one of the actions listed above (or empty) and Aq keys is in the form of zero or more modifier keys (MOD, Mod1, Shift, etc.) and one or more normal keys (b, space, etc.), separated by "+". For example:
bind[reset] = Mod4+q # bind Windows-key + q to reset bind[] = Mod1+q # unbind Alt + q
Multiple key combinations may be bound to the same action.
QUIRKS
scrotwm provides "quirks" which handle windows that must be treated specially in a tiling window manager, such as some dialogs and fullscreen apps.The default quirks are described below:
- Firefox-bin:firefox-bin
- TRANSSZ
- Firefox:Dialog
- FLOAT
- Gimp:gimp
- FLOAT | ANYWHERE
- MPlayer:xv
- FLOAT | FULLSCREEN
- OpenOffice.org 2.4:VCLSalFrame
- FLOAT
- OpenOffice.org 3.1:VCLSalFrame
- FLOAT
- pcb:pcb
- FLOAT
- xine:Xine Window
- FLOAT | ANYWHERE
- xine:xine Panel
- FLOAT | ANYWHERE
- xine:xine Video Fullscreen Window
- FULLSCREEN | FLOAT
- Xitk:Xitk Combo
- FLOAT | ANYWHERE
- Xitk:Xine Window
- FLOAT | ANYWHERE
- XTerm:xterm
- XTERM_FONTADJ
The quirks themselves are described below:
- FLOAT
- This window should not be tiled, but allowed to float freely.
- TRANSSZ
- Adjusts size on transient windows that are too small using dialog_ratio (see Sx CONFIGURATION FILES ) .
- ANYWHERE
- Allow window to position itself, uncentered.
- XTERM_FONTADJ
- Adjust xterm fonts when resizing.
- FULLSCREEN
- Remove border to allow window to use full screen size.
Custom quirks in the configuration file are specified as follows:
quirk[<class>:<name>] = <quirk> [ | <quirk> ...
Aq class and Aq name specify the window to which the quirk(s) apply, and Aq quirk is one of the quirks from the list above. For example:
quirk[MPlayer:xv] = FLOAT | FULLSCREEN # let mplayer play quirk[pcb:pcb] = NONE # remove existing quirk
Note that spaces in Aq class or Aq name must be replaced by an underscore in the configuration. The config entry for "xine:Xine Panel" would be:
quirk[xine:Xine_Panel] = FLOAT
You can obtain Aq class and Aq name by running xprop(1) and then clicking on the desired window. In the following example the main window of Firefox was clicked:
$ xprop | grep WM_CLASS WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Navigator", "Firefox"
