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

- /etc/X11/sapphire/menu/default

automatically generated from the other two by update-menus, do not edit
