SYNOPSISaewm [options...]
DESCRIPTIONaewm 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), button 2 will run aemenu --switch, and button 3 will start
a new xterm(1x). aemenu (or another equivalent program) is required to
unhide hidden windows; aewm does not do this itself.
