Configuration wmfsrc - xorg62/wmfs GitHub Wiki

WMFS² configuration

you can configure WMFS² by editing its main configuration file in text mode: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wmfs/wmfsrc. on first wmfs install, you have to copy the default wmfsrc in your configuration directory (~/.config/wmfs/) from the source file (/usr/local/etc/xdg/wmfs/wmfsrc). you can also take the last version on [git repo](https://github.com/xorg62/wmfs).
to modify your configuration, you just have to edit this file then reload wmfs.
this page details the wmfsrc file by section. for a complete list of uicb functions, visit the dedicated page.

include

wmfsrc supports ”@include” to split configuration file.
ex:

# Possible file inclusion:
@include ~/.config/wmfs/wmfs_themes
@include ~/.config/wmfs/wmfs_rules

[themes]

wmfs² support theme(s) creation.

[bars]

wmfs² handles several statusbar if you need. each bar support configuration and theme.

[bars]

  # Position:
  #
  # 0  Top
  # 1  Bottom
  # 2  Hide

  # Element type:
  #
  # t  Tags
  # s  Statustext (will take available space)
  # y  Systray (can be set only ONE time among all element)
  # l  Launcher (will be expended at launcher use)

  [bar]
     position = 0
     screen = 0
     elements = "tlsy"   # element order in bar
     theme = "default"
  [/bar]

# [bar]
#    position = 0
#    screen = 1
#    elements = "ts"
#    theme = "default"
# [/bar]

[/bars]
