Configuration
</H1>
When <SMALL>UWM</SMALL> starts it first searches and reads its central configuration file, <I>uwmrc</I>. Any further configuration files to be read by <SMALL>UWM</SMALL> have to be defined in this file. If no <I>uwmrc</I> is found, <SMALL>UWM</SMALL> will start using default values. However the values assumed might not be correct in all cases which sometimes is a reason for uwm to quit (e.g. in case no hex icons were found).
<P>
All configuration files are searched using the same pattern: <SMALL>UWM</SMALL> first looks into the directory <TT>$HOME/.ude/config</TT>. If the file is not found there it checks the directory <TT>$UDEdir/config</TT> or, if the <TT>$UDEdir</TT> environment variable is not set, the global <SMALL>UDE</SMALL> configuration directory which results in something like <TT>/usr/local/share/ude/config</TT>. The <SMALL>UDE</SMALL> default installation directory can be changed at compile/configuration time. Take a look at the <TT>INSTALL</TT>-Readme-File for details about this. If the configuration file is still not found, <SMALL>UWM</SMALL> takes the filename as it is (usually dereferencing any environment variables first).
<P>
If a c preprocessor is found on the system <SMALL>UWM</SMALL> is runing on, any configuration files will be passed through the c preprocessor before <SMALL>UWM</SMALL> looks at them. This will make it possible for you to use macros etc. Take a look at the manual of your preprocessor for more info.
<P>
