Uses Python and the Python X Library. + +PyTyle is meant to run in the background, so run it like so: + + pytyle & + +You may want to add the above command to your ~/.xinitrc or +another startup script like ~/.config/openbox/autostart. + +If you're having trouble running it on start up, try this in +your ~/.xinitrc: + + (sleep 5 && pytyle) & + +It will give the window manager time to startup before PyTyle starts +asking it for information. Increase/decrease the sleep timeout +appropriately. + +After PyTyle has been executed for the first time, it will create a +configuration file in your XDG_CONFIG_HOME/pytyle/ directory (usually +~/.config/pytyle) called pytylerc. The comments in the configuration +file will explain everything. + +It has been tested relatively well on OpenBox and partially on Fluxbox. +It should, in theory, work with any window manager complying with the +EWMH standards. |
