quartz-wm(1)		  BSD General Commands Manual		  quartz-wm(1)

NAME
     quartz-wm — Aqua Window Manager for the X Window System on OS X

SYNOPSIS
     quartz-wm [--prefs-domain domain]

DESCRIPTION
     quartz-wm is a window manager for the X Window System. It provides title‐
     bars for X11 windows that aim to match the look and feel of native Mac OS
     X windows.

     The following options are available:

     --prefs-domain domain
	     This option can be used to override the domain used to read pref‐
	     erences from.  This is useful if you want to have multiple
	     X11.apps running at the same time.

CUSTOMIZATION
     quartz-wm can be customized using the defaults(1) command.	 Examples are
     shown using the default org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 domain.	 If you use
     another domain (either through the X11_PREFS_DOMAIN environment variable
     or the --prefs-domain command line argument), then you need to substitute
     that instead.  quartz-wm can be forced to re-read these preferences by
     sending it a SIGHUP using kill(1).

     The available options are:

     defaults write org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 wm_ffm -bool true
	     Enables focus-follows-mouse mode. Windows belonging to the X
	     server may then be focused by moving the pointer over them, as
	     well as the default mode of clicking in them.

     defaults write org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 wm_click_through -bool true
	     Disables the default behavior of swallowing window-activating
	     mouse events.

     defaults write org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 wm_limit_size -bool true
	     Limit the size of each window to the size of the current head.

     defaults write org.macosforge.xquartz.x11 wm_focus_on_new_window -bool
	     false
	     Don't tell X11.app to take focus when a new X11 window is cre‐
	     ated.

     defaults write org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 wm_window_shading -bool true
	     Enables double clicking on a titlebar to shade the window

     defaults write org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 wm_auto_quit -bool true
	     Automatically quit quartz-wm (thus shutting down the X11 server)
	     when the last window is closed.

     defaults write org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 wm_auto_quit_timeout -int 3
	     Set the timeout for the auto-quit feature.	 If wm_auto_quit is
	     true, quartz-wm will wait this many seconds before attempting to
	     shutdown.	If another window is created in that time, quartz-wm
	     will not shutdown.

LOGGING
     quartz-wm sends messages to syslogd(8) using asl(3).  These logs are sent
     to the org.macosforge.xquartz facility, and you can watch these logs
     using the following syslog(1) command:

     $ syslog -w -k Facility eq org.macosforge.xquartz

     By default, debugging logs are filtered out.  You can adjust the filter
     to print debugging information for the running quartz-wm with this syslog
     1 command

     $ syslog -c quartz-wm -d

     See syslog(1) or asl(3) for more information on syslog filtering.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
     DISPLAY
	     This variable is used to determine which X server to use.

     X11_PREFS_DOMAIN
	     This variable is used as Ar domain if the Fl -prefs-domain com‐
	     mand line option is not given.  If neither Fl -prefs-domain nor
	     X11_PREFS_DOMAIN are set, then the default value of org.macos‐
	     forge.xquartz.X11 is used instead.

     DEBUG   If this variable is set, debug logging will be printed to stderr
	     in addition to asl.
