<h2>Description</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<h2>Differences to wmii</h2
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
In contrast to wmii, dwm is only a window manager, and nothing else.
|
||
|
|
Hence, it is much smaller, faster and simpler. dwm does
|
||
|
|
<b>not</b> include following features wmii provides:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>9P support</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>status bar</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>menu</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>editable tagbars</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>shell-based config/control file</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>small tools (selection printer, mouse warper)</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never
|
||
|
|
exceed 2000 SLOC.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it
|
||
|
|
extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which
|
||
|
|
hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however simpler
|
||
|
|
than wmii or larswm).
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
dwm don't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or managed
|
||
|
|
layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are managed or not
|
||
|
|
managed, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. Popup- and
|
||
|
|
fixed-size windows are treated unmanaged.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real
|
||
|
|
estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of unfocused
|
||
|
|
clients.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|

|

|
|
garbeam <b>don't</b> wants any feedback to dwm. If you ask for support,
|
||
|
|
feature requests or if you report bugs, they will be <b>ignored</b>
|
||
|
|
with a high chance. dwm is only intended to fit garbeam's needs,
|
||
|
|
however you are free to download and distribute/relicense it, with the
|
||
|
|
conditions of the <a href="http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm?f=f10eb1139362;file=LICENSE;style=raw">MIT/X Consortium license</a>.

<h2>Development</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
dwm is actively developed in parallel to wmii. You can <a href="http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm">browse</a> its source code repository or get a copy using <a href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/">Mercurial</a> with following command:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<em>hg clone http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm</em>
