README
overview is a graphical workspace manager for X11 window managers like
MaXX Interactice Desktop
mwm
emwm
twm
1. PREREQUISITES
-----------------------------
Motif 2.3+
On some GNU/Linux distributions appropriate 'dev' packages need to be installed
separately - e.g. xorg-dev, motif-dev, etc.
I have included a (e)mwmrc.sample to show you how the overview command
might be used. You need to edit your .mwmrc or other windowmanager keybindigs.
Optional you can use the script "sticky" to make some of your apps
sticky, it calls xdotool (not included).
I added my .sgisession/.emwmrcsession startup script to dot.sgisession as
example.
Things can also be included in your .xinirc/.xsession
I also added a dot.Xdefaults.emwm that includes Xresources
First thing you might want to change is horizontal layout to vertical.
Right click into the window, there is a menu. Settings are stored in
~/.overviewrc
