Rio with hubfs integration, command menu customization, selectable
colors. Grio is a modified version of rio(1) All rio options are
supported. Integration with hubfs(4) and a user–selectable command
is provided via the right mouse button menu. This manpage describes
only the new features.
Menu Options
Grio provides an 'exit' command in the right button menu, because
it is often run nested. The –e option removes the 'exit' command
from the menu. A user–selected command (or /bin/acme by default)
is added to the menu via the –x option. The command must include
the full path, for instance /bin/stats
rather than simply 'stats'. A single argument containing no spaces
may be passed with the –a argument option. If the argument is a
set of flags, the – needs to be included. For instance, –lems as
an argument to stats. The argument may not contain any spaces,
and quoting does not enable the use of multi–part
arguments.
Color Selection
Most of the colors used by grio are now user–selectable via 8 digit
hex codes. See colors(1) to inspect sample colors and their codes.
–c colorcode sets the background color. –t textcolor sets the color
of text in windows. –u windowcolor sets the color the windows themselves.
–y bordercolor sets the color of the
border of the currently active window, and –z bordercolor sets
the color of the border of the unselected windows. The width of
borders is set with an integer parameter to –w borderpixels with
2 as the minimum for visible window borders. If no theming parameters
are provided, the appearance defaults to standard.
Background Image
–B backimg sets an image for use as the background. The image must
be in Plan 9 Image format. You can use the tools such as jpg(1)
or png(1) with the –c option to convert other images to Plan 9
format. The image will be tiled to fill the available background
space.
Hubfs integration
Another menu option, Hub is present in the right mouse button
menu. This provides integration with Hubfs(4) such that after
this command is selected, the window swept out will automatically
be connected to the hubfs mounted at /n/hubfs. On startup, if
there is not already a mounted hubfs at /n/hubfs, grio will
launch a new instance of hubfs with the srv file posted at /srv/riohubfs.username.
It is often useful to import the /srv of a remote machine and
mount a hubfs from it to /n/hubfs prior to starting grio
