NAME
  uwm - start the ULOS Window Manager

SYNOPSIS
  uwm

DESCRIPTION
  uwm is a basic window manager.  It provides facilities for the creation and deletion of windowed applications;  all else is left to the application itself.

  See uwm(3) for information on the API to which apps are given access.

USAGE
  When uwm starts, it displays a solid light-gray background with the text

    Quit | ULOS Window Manager | Right-Click for menu

  in the top left corner.

  Right-clicking anywhere on the screen will open the UWM App Menu.  Click an option to select it or anywhere else to close the menu.  All files under /usr/share/apps are listed as options.

  Selecting any application will load the corresponding application file and attach its returned UI data to the window tree.

  Each window is by default 65x20 in size and uses a corresponding amount of GPU memory.  This means that, on a Tier 3 GPU with default configuration, there may be at most 18 windows open at any one time.  On a Tier 2 GPU, there may only be 3 windows.

  Clicking Quit will, after a confirmation prompt has been accepted, exit uwm, freeing all allocated window-buffers and calling :close on all windows.

  uwm does not support nested instances.

CONFIGURATION
  uwm is configured through /etc/uwm.cfg.
