CONFIGURATION
OVERVIEW
Configuration of JWM is done by editing ".jwmrc" (or the config‐
uration file specified with the -f option). This file is XML
making it easy to edit, either by hand or programmatically. The
example.jwmrc gives an example configuration file. 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.

menu. This is a list of integers specifying buttons. The
default is "123". Note that multiple root menus may be
specified by using different buttons for different menus.
The range of possible values is 0 to 9 inclusive as well
as a to z inclusive, providing for up to 36 menus. Note
that only the numeric values map to mouse buttons.

specified for a menu item must be the exact name of the icon
file with the 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 allo‐

support are compile-time options.
