<h3>Description</h3> |
|
| 34 | 21 |
<p> |
22 |
dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11. |
|
23 |
</p> |
|

<h3>Differences to wmii</h3 |
| 34 | 25 |
<p> |
26 |
In contrast to wmii, dwm is only a window manager, and nothing else. |
|
| 36 | 27 |
Hence, it is much smaller, faster and simpler. |
| 34 | 28 |
</p> |
29 |
<ul> |
|
| 36 | 30 |
<li> |
31 |
dwm has no 9P support, no status bar, no menu, no editable tagbars, |
|
32 |
no shell-based configuration and remote control and comes without |
|
33 |
any additional tools like printing the selection or warping the |
|
34 |
mouse. |
|
35 |
</li> |
|
36 |
<li> |
|
37 |
dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never |
|
38 |
exceed 2000 SLOC. |
|
39 |
</li> |
|
40 |
<li> |
|
41 |
dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it |
|
42 |
extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which |
|
43 |
hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names. |
|
44 |
</li> |
|
45 |
<li> |
|
46 |
dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however simpler |
|
47 |
than wmii or larswm). |
|
48 |
</li> |
|
49 |
<li> |
|
50 |
dwm don't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or |
|
51 |
managed layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are |
|
52 |
managed or not, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. Popup- |
|
53 |
and fixed-size windows are treated unmanaged. |
|
54 |
</li> |
|
55 |
<li> |
|
56 |
dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real |
|
57 |
estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of unfocused |
|
58 |
clients. |
