- peterwwillis 15y agoI've been using this handy graphical tool called WPrefs that ships with WindowMaker (since at least 1998). The only time I hand-edited a config or menu was to enable functionality which nobody ever used (hiding all dock items but keeping icons small and visible and preserving both global and virtual desktop-specific icons/windows depending on context).
- msh 15y agoI think I last used windowmaker around 2004 and I have a distinct recollection of editing configfiles. Maybe I am remembering wrong. I still think that OSX provides a much better GUI than WM, which should not have been introduced according to your logic and so people would miss out on improvements (but i miss focus follows mouse...).
