***Rust X11 automation***

`libwmctl` implements the [Extended Window Manager Hints (EWMH) specification](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/latest/)
as a way to work along side EWMH compatible window managers as a companion. `libwmctl` provides the 
ability to precisely define how windows should be shaped and placed and can fill in gaps for window 
managers lacking some shaping or placement features. `libwmctl` exposes X11 details in a simple
consumable way opening the door to window manipulation beyond what your favorite EWMH window manager 
provides.

## Usage <a name="usage"/></a>
This minimum rustc requirement is driven by the
[tracing\_subscriber](https://docs.rs/tracing-subscriber/0.2.15/tracing_subscriber) requirements

### Shape window <a name="shape-window"/></a>
Shape the active window using the pre-defined `WinShape::Small` shape which is a quarter of the 
screen.

```rust
use libwmctl::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    WinOpt::new(None).shape(WinShape::Max).place().unwrap();
}
```

### Move window <a name="move-window"/></a>
Move the active window to the bottom left corner of the screen using the pre-defined 
`WinPosition::BottomLeft` position.

```rust
use libwmctl::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    WinOpt::new(None).pos(WinPosition::BottomLeft).place().unwrap();
}
```

### Place window <a name="place-window"/></a>
Combine the shape and move into a single command by placing the window. First the window is shaped 
using the pre-defined `WinShap::Small` shape then it is moved to the bottom left using the 
pre-defined `WinPosition:BottomLeft` position in a single operation.

```rust
use libwmctl::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    WinOpt::new(None).shape(WinShape::Small).pos(WinPosition::BottomLeft).place().unwrap();
}
```

### Window Manager info <a name="window-manager-info"/></a>
```rust
use libwmctl::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    let wmctl = WmCtl::connect().unwrap();
    let (_, wm_name) = wmctl.winmgr().unwrap();
    let win = wmctl.active_win().unwrap();
    println!("X11 Information");
    println!("-----------------------------------------------------------------------");
    println!("Window Manager:    {}", wm_name);
    println!("Composite Manager: {}", wmctl.composite_manager().unwrap());
    println!("Root Window:       {}", wmctl.root());
    println!("Work area:         {}x{}", wmctl.work_width(), wmctl.work_height());
    println!("Screen Size:       {}x{}", wmctl.width(), wmctl.height());
    println!("Desktops:          {}", wmctl.desktops().unwrap());
    println!();
    println!("Active Window");
    println!("{:-<120}", "");

    println!("{:<8} {:<3} {:<6} {:<5} {:<5} {:<4} {:<4} {:<8} {:<7} {:<18} {:<18} {}", "ID", "DSK", "PID", "X", "Y", "W", "H", "BORDERS", "TYPE", "STATE", "CLASS", "NAME");

    let pid = wmctl.win_pid(win).unwrap_or(-1);
    let desktop = wmctl.win_desktop(win).unwrap_or(-1);
    let typ = wmctl.win_type(win).unwrap_or(WinType::Invalid);
    let states = wmctl.win_state(win).unwrap_or(vec![WinState::Invalid]);
    let (x, y, w, h) = wmctl.win_geometry(win).unwrap_or((0,0,0,0));
    let (l, r, t, b) = wmctl.win_borders(win).unwrap_or((0, 0, 0, 0));
    let class = wmctl.win_class(win).unwrap_or("".to_owned());
    let name = wmctl.win_name(win).unwrap_or("".to_owned());
    println!("{:<8} {:<3} {:<6} {:<5} {:<5} {:<4} {:<4} {:<8} {:<7} {:<18} {:<18} {}",
        format!("{:0>8}", win), format!("{:>2}", desktop), pid,
        format!("{:<4}", x), format!("{:<4}", y), format!("{:<4}", w), format!("{:<4}", h), 
        format!("{},{},{},{}", l, r, t, b),
        typ.to_string(), format!("{:?}", states), class, name);
}
```

## Contribute <a name="Contribute"/></a>
Pull requests are always welcome. However understand that they will be evaluated purely on whether
or not the change fits with my goals/ideals for the project.

### Git-Hook <a name="git-hook"/></a>
Enable the git hooks to have automatic version increments
```bash
cd ~/Projects/wmctl
git config core.hooksPath .githooks
```
