### Configuration:

  * **`Network Manager (Connman or NetWorkManager):`**

      ```shell
      # Choose between NetworkManager or Connman
      program[connection]   = nm-connection-editor
      #program[connection]   = connman-gtk --no-icon
      bind[connection]      = MOD+c
      ````

  * **`Monitor & resolution:`**
  
    * The configuration load my monitor configuration:
    * Use the command `xrandr` for show your config & edit the file `~/.config/spectrwm/startxrandr.sh`:
    
      ```shell
      xrandr --output DisplayPort-0 --mode 1280x1024 -r 75.02
      xrandr --output DisplayPort-1 --mode 1280x1024 -r 75.02 --rotate left --right-of DisplayPort-0
      ````

  * **`Wallpaper:`**
  
    * By default, the config load wallpaper on `~/wallpapers/abstract.png`:
    * Edit  `~/.config/spectrwm/startwallpaper.sh` for set your favorite wallpaper:

      nitrogen --set-centered ~/wallpapers/abstract.png
      ````

    * By default, the config load `Picom` compositor.
    * You can change it editing the lines on `~/.config/spectrwm/startcompositor.sh` file:
    
      ```shell

      sleep 15
      #compton &
