This software functions as a powerful window manipulation daemon, allowing users to perform advanced actions on their windows. It enables users to carry out tasks, such as resizing, moving, and snapping windows, using configurable hotkeys or mouse gestures.
The installation process for WinWrangler is relatively straightforward, beginning with navigating to the directory containing the package's source code. From there, users will need to type in "./configure" and wait for the package to be configured for their specific operating system. Once configured, users will need to type in "make" to begin the compilation process.
Optionally, users can run self-tests that come with the package by typing "make check" and install the programs, data files and documentation by typing in "make install." If at any time users want to clean up the program binaries and object files from the source code directory, they can do so by typing in "make clean."
For those who want to completely remove the files that were generated by the "configure" command, they can type in "make distclean." The developers put in a "make maintainer-clean" target, but this target mainly intended for them to use. Using this target may require additional programs so that you can regenerate files which came with the package.
If you are in need of software that provides advanced window-manipulations that go beyond what is available in window-managers, WinWrangler might just be the perfect desktop daemon for you. Installation is relatively straightforward, and the development team has created several options for compiling and cleaning up the source code files.
