-1. Introduction -

- -

-This document is an ``advanced user'' manual for the X11 window manager -Ion, version 3. It is an attempt at documenting things that go into Ion's -configuration files, how to configure Ion by simple modifications -to these files and how to write more complex extensions in Lua, the -lightweight configuration and scripting language used by Ion. - -

-Readers unfamiliar with Lua might first want to first glance at some -Lua documentation at - -

-http://www.lua.org/docs.html, or -
http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaTutorial, - -

- -

-although this should not be strictly necessary for basic modifications -of configuration files for anyone with at least some familiarity with -programming languages. - -

-Back in this document, first in chapter 2 some key -concepts and relations are explained. These include the module system, -and Ion's object (or ``region'') and class hierarchies. While it may -not be necessary to study the latter for basic copy-paste modifications -of configuration files - for that you should not really need this -manual either - it is, however, essential to for more extensive -customisation, due to the semi-object-oriented nature of most of -Ion's scripting interface. Knowing the different object types also -helps dealing with the different binding ``contexts'' (see -Section 3.3) that to some extent mirror these classes. - -

-The new user, fed up with the default key bindings and eager to -just quickly configure Ion to his liking, may therefore just want -to skip to Chapter 3, and attempt to work from therefore. -That chapter provides the very basic Ion configuration know-how -is provided: all the different configuration files and their locations -are explained, instructions are given to allow the reader to -configure bindings and so-called ``winprops'', and the statusbar -templates are also explained. - -

-Next, Chapter 4 explains the notion of drawing engines -and graphical styles and how to write new looks for Ion. More advanced -aspects of Ion's scripting interface are documented in Chapter -5. -Finally, most of the functions provided by Ion's scripting interface -are listed and documented in the Function reference in Chapter -6. At the end of the document an alphabetical -listing of all these functions may be found. - -
