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.

FILES

       /etc/X11/sapphire/menu/default-menu
                 menu entries specific to sapphire (you  can  edit  this  one,
                 it’s a conffile)

       /etc/X11/sapphire/menu/menudefs.hook
                 Debian  menu entries in sapphire’s format, not read directly,
                 do not edit (edit default-menu            instead)

       /etc/X11/sapphire/menu/default
                 this menu file is the one  sapphire  actually  reads,  it  is
                 automatically  generated  from the other two by update-menus,
                 do not edit (edit default-menu instead)

       $HOME/.sapphire/wmconf
                 user-specific options

       /usr/share/sapphire/themes
                 themes directory, all of the above may refer to  themes  from
                 here (the files themselves are X resource files)

HISTORY

       Sapphire  was originally developed from Decklin Foster’s aewm, and also
       uses some code from Blackbox (for gradients).
