WindowMaker is currently running in 4:3. However, I'm on a 16:9
widescreen monitor. Is there a way to adjust the resolution of
WindowMaker for the 16:9 widescreen monitor?
You don't adjust the resolution of WindowMaker, you adjust the
resolution of the whole X Session.
Try
$ xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1440x900
Where VGA1 is your monitor and 1440x900 is the desired resolution.
You can see the available options with xrandr with no parameters.
Then make sure to restart WindowMaker (xrandr support is experimental
AFAIK).
I'm trying to use the menu editor in WMPrefs to drag items between
submenus, but the items aren't easily going there. How can I easily
drag an item from one submenu to another when editing menus?
Don't know, but you always have the option of editing the text file.
Additionally, how do I add new applications to the menu in Window
Maker? Do I have to hunt down the path of the executables?
As long as they are in your path, you shouldn't have to use the complete
path.
Anyway, you can always find it via the which command - e.g.
$ which bash
/usr/bin/bash
I also want to try out installing Dock Apps. How does one actually
install Dock Apps?
Like anything else - compile them yourself from the tarball and/or use
the repositories provided by your distro.
Then just type their name in an xterm and they will appear on screen.
You can then move them around, dock them and tell WM to make them part
of the default session via the right mouse button.
Lastly, Is there a way to change the menubar menus and icons for my
applications themselves to more resemble Window Maker/NeXTSTEP?
Yes, there are a number of ways (config files, dbus, etc...), but you'd
probably better off asking a GTK ML.
Anyway, Paul Seelig, the guy who does WMLive, knows for sure how to do
that, and he posts on this list.
