quartz-wm(1)                                                                                    quartz-wm(1)



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

SYNTAX
       quartz-wm [ --only-proxy ]

DESCRIPTION
       quartz-wm is a window manager for the X Window System. It provides titlebars for X11 windows that aim
       to match the look and feel of native Mac OS X windows.  It  also  contains  functionality  to  bridge
       between the system pasteboard and the X server's PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD selections.

OPTIONS
       quartz-wm accepts the following command line options:

       --only-proxy
               This  option  indicates  that  the  program should not attempt to manage any of the display's
               screens. However the selection proxying features will still be enabled, meaning that  a  dif-ferent different
               ferent  window manager may be used, but cut and paste will work as if quartz-wm were running.

CUSTOMIZATION
       quartz-wm can be customized using the defaults(1) command. The available options are:

       defaults write org.x.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.x.x11 wm_click_through -bool true
               Disables the default behavior of swallowing window-activating mouse events.

       defaults write org.x.x11 wm_limit_size -bool false
               Prevents the size of each window being limited to the size of the current head.

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