These +features help to keep windows organized and to switch quickly between them. +Ion was designed primarily as an efficient and unobtrusive window manager +for users who prefer the keyboard. + +This is the latest stable release of Ion (3). A pwm3 binary is built +too, which starts Ion with floating workspaces as the default, thus replacing +the PWM window manager. + +ion-3 needs lua, which is also available from SlackBuilds.org. If you have +installed lua on your own, the binary might be stored under /usr/local/bin +or any other destination you have specified. +However, if lua is not located under /usr/bin, either change the LUABINDIR +variable in the SlackBuild script or run the SlackBuild script with +the following command: + LUABINDIR="PATH_TO_BIN_DIRECTORY" ./ion.SlackBuild |
