NAME

sapphire --- minimal but configurable window manager

SYNOPSIS

sapphire [-display displayname | -version ]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the sapphire command.

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

sapphire is a minimal but configurable window manager for X11R6. It supports themes in the form of X resource files, and has a customisable menu.

The Debian version receives Debian menu entries automatically in a "Debian" submenu by default, you can add entries specifically to sapphire (in the rest of the menu) in the default-menu file. For more information, see update-menus (1) and the FILES section below.

Users can also set their own options in $HOME/.sapphire/wmconf (an X resource file).

OPTIONS

-display displayname
Use the X-server display 'displayname'.
-version
Show version of program.
