A configuration file is needed to launch wmdrawer. Its default name is .wmdrawerrc and it must be copied in your home directory.
It's also possible to put this file in another directory and / or to use a different name but in this case, you must use the -c command line option. Here is an example configuration file which can be downloaded HERE: # Config file example for wmdrawer [general] # Dock's icon [optional] #dock_icon panel-drawer.png # Drawer's opening direction [required] # Top to bottom = 0 # Right to Left = 1 # Bottom to Top = 2 # Left to Right = 3 direction 2 # Image used for icons' background [optional] #icons_bg defaultTile.xpm # Allow icons' enlargement to fit them to buttons' size [optional, default 1] # 0 indicate that icons should never be larger than their original size. #icons_expand 1 # Activate the drawer's pseudo-transparency [optional, default 0] # if you choose transparency, icons_bg will be ignored #transparency 0 # dock's width: min=12, max=128 [optional, default=64] #dock_width 64 # dock's height: min=12, max=128 [optional, default=64] #dock_height 64 # buttons' size: min=12, max=128 [optional] # Useful for the people who want for example to have big icons # and to define several columns. #btns_size 32 # Icon's highlight type: 0, 1 or 2 [optional, default 2] # 0 : no highlight # 1 : target (unavailable if transparency activated) # 2 : shading #highlight 2 # Image used as highlight [optional] # only used if you choice target type #highlight_img highlight.xpm # Tint icons by a specified color [optional, default #ffffff] # only used if you choice shading type #highlight_tint #ffffff # Shade icons at a specified level [optional, default 60] # only used if you choice shading type #highlight_sh 60 # Display buttons' tooltips [optional, default 1] #tooltips 1 # Tooltips' font [optional, default fixed] #tooltips_font fixed # Drawer's animation speed: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 [optional, default 1] #animation_speed 1 # Mouse cursor in drawer: 0, 1, ..., 76 [optional, default 30] #cursor 30 # Auto opening of the drawer: 0, 1 [optional, default 0] #show_on_hover 0 # Auto closing of the drawer: 0, 1 [optional, default 0] #hide_on_out 0 # drawer's hiding timeout in miliseconds [optional, default 1000] #hide_timeout 1000 # Runs the dockapp in windowed mode: 0, 1 [optional, default 0] # Useful for AfterStep, Fvwm, Sawfish or KDE users. #windowed_mode 0 # Instance name so window manager can distinguish between multiple copies #instance_name distinguish_name # Drawer's border size in pixels [optional, default 1] #border_size 1 # Images directories [images_paths] /usr/share/pixmaps /usr/local/share/pixmaps/ # A first column with 5 buttons # Each button must be defined with this syntax: # (tooltip) (image) (command) [column] (X Terminal) (gnome-term.png) (xterm -bg black -fg wheat) (Galeon) (galeon.xpm) (galeon -s) (Sylpheed) (sylpheed-vanilla.png) (sylpheed) (XChat) (xchat.png) (xchat) (MPlayer) (gnome-multimedia.png) (mplayer) # A second column with 5 buttons [column] (Xmms) (gnome-audio2.png) (xmms) (Gimp) (gnome-gimp.png) (gimp) (GQview) (gqview.png) (gqview) (Xcalc) (gnome-calc2.png) (xcalc) (GFtp) (gftp.png) (gftp)WARNING: If wmDrawer's version is <= 0.9.5, you need to add a '&' character at the end of each command.
