Overview
Configuration of JWM is done by editing ".jwmrc". This file is XML making
it easy to edit, either by hand or programmatically.
The example.jwmrc gives an example configuration file which specifies
most of the options.
Before restarting JWM, it is a good idea to run "jwm -p" to make sure
the configuration file is free of errors. Otherwise you may end up without
a root menu.
Root Menu
The root menu in JWM is the primary way of starting programs. It also provides a way to restart or exit the window manager. Note that multiple root menus are possible. See the onroot attribute for more information. The outer-most tag is RootMenu. This tag supports the following attributes:
- onroot
Determine which buttons on the root window activate the menu. This is a list of integers specifying buttons. The default is 123. Multiple root menus may be used by specifying different buttons to activate them. Valid values in this list are 0 to 9 and a to z. The usual mouse buttons are 1 for the left button, 2 for the middle button, 3 for the right button, and 4 and 5 for the scroll wheel. Therefore, accessing root menus that are assigned to buttons 0, 6, 7, 8, 9, or a letter will typically require the use of a tray button or key binding. - height
The height of each menu item in pixels. 0 indicates that the height of the font will determine the height. The default is 0. - label
The label to display at the top of the menu. The default is JWM. - labeled
Determines if a label appears at the top of the menu. Possible values are true and false. The default is false. - dynamic
A file to load for the root menu. If the name begins with "exec:", then the name of an executable can be provided that will output the root menu. Note that the root menu structure must have a JWM tag at the top level.
Within the RootMenu tag the following tags are supported:
- Menu
This tag creates a submenu item. Any of the tags allowed within the RootMenu tag, including Menu, are allowed within this tag. The Menu tag supports the following attributes:- height
The height of each menu item in pixels. 0 indicates that the height of the font will determine the height. The default is inherited from the parent menu. - label

- Dynamic
Include the contents of a file or the output of a program as a submenu. The file (or program output) must start with a JWM tag containing one or more items to be contained within the submenu. A file is specified by the text of the tag. If the text starts with exec: then the output of the specified executable is used. Note that the program or file will be read every time the menu is shown. To include menu items at the same level or to statically include the menu items when the configuration file is parsed, use the Include tag. This tag supports the same attributes as the Menu tag. - Program

For components that support gradients, two colors may be specified separated by a colon.
Icons
Icons for windows that don't supply an icon via the _NET_WM_ICON hint are located by searching the icon search path(s) for an icon whose name (minus the extension) matches the instance name of the window as returned in the WM_CLASS hint. If this lookup fails, a default icon is supplied. This icon will be displayed for the window on it's title bar and on the task list. Icons that are not an appropriate size will be scaled. Square icons work best.
For menu items, the icon path is searched for a match. The icon specified for a menu item must be the exact name of the icon file with extension. If no match is found, a blank area will appear where the icon should appear. If an icon is not specified for any menu item in a menu, no space will be allocated for icons.
Zero or more IconPath tags may be specified. The text of this tag is assumed to be an absolute directory path to a directory containing XPM, PNG, and/or JPEG icons. When searching for icons, if multiple paths are provided, the paths will be searched in order until a match is made. Note that icon, PNG, JPEG, and XPM support are compile-time options.
Key Bindings
Keyboard bindings in JWM are controlled by the configuration file. For example:
<JWM>
.
.
.
<Key mask="mask" key="key">action</Key>
</JWM>
Here mask specifies the modifier keys that must be held to enable this action and key specifies the key that is to be pressed. keycode may be specified instead of key if the key code is known but the key is not (or there is no symbol for the key code). action is the action performed when this combination is pressed. The mask section is optional. It can contain any number of the following values:
- A - Alt (mod1)
- C - Control
- S - Shift
- 1 - mod1
- 2 - mod2
- 3 - mod3
- 4 - mod4
- 5 - mod5
Note that physical key which determines the mask can be configured using the
"xmodmap" program.
The key section must contain a value key string for XStringToKeysym.
These values are usually what one would expect (for example, the escape
key is called "Escape").
Finally, the action is the action to be performed when a key is
pressed. Valid actions are:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| up | Move up. |
| down | Move down. |

| showtray | Show trays. |
Note that any binding not specified in the configuration file will not be accessible. Further, it is possible to bind multiple key combinations to the same action.
Mouse Bindings
Mouse bindings are configured using Mouse tags. The context attribute determines the context in which the binding applies, the button attribute species the mouse button, and the (optional) mask attribute species the key mask that must be in effect for the binding to match. Finally, the text of the Mouse tag determines the action to perform (see Key Bindings for a list of actions). The button is a mouse button number, starting at 1 (typically the left button). A positive value for the button indicates that the action applies on mouse press and a negative value indicates that the action applise on release. The button number can be repeated to bind to double clicks. The following mouse contexts are supported:
- border
The window border. - close
The close button on a window. - icon
The icon button on a window. - maximize
The maximize button on a window. - minimize
The minimize button on a window. - root

Over a pager, changes the current desktop. - Button 3 (typically the right button)
Over a task list, shows the window menu. Over a pager, dragging with button 3 will move a window.
When a menu is open, the scroll wheel will move through menu items. When over the pager, the scroll wheel will switch desktops. When over a task list, the scroll wheel will switch windows.
