## NAME

    icewm-startup - icewm startup configuration file

## SYNOPSIS

    $ICEWM_PRIVCFG/startup
    $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/icewm/startup
    $HOME/.icewm/startup
    /etc/icewm/startup
    /usr/share/icewm/startup

## DESCRIPTION

The startup file contains commands to be executed on icewm startup. This is an executable script. Typically the commands tweak X11 settings and launch some applications which always need to be active. It is run by icewm-session(1) when icewm starts.

## EXAMPLES

    #!/bin/bash
    xset r rate 250 32
    flameshot &
    volumeicon &
    redshift-gtk &
    picom -b

Remember to `chmod +x ~/.icewm/startup`.
