.B dwm |

is a dynamic window manager for X11. It manages windows in tiling and floating |
10 |
modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, depending on the application in |
|
11 |
use and the task performed. |

In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking column. The master |
14 |
column contains the window which needs most attention at a time, whereas the |
|
15 |
stacking column contains all other windows in a stack. Dialog windows are |
|
16 |
managed floating, however. In floating mode windows can be resized and moved |
|
17 |
freely. |

Windows are grouped by tags. All windows with a specific tag can be viewed at a |
20 |
time. But each window may contain more than one tag, which makes it visible in |
|
21 |
several views. |

consists of a small status bar which reads the text displayed from standard |
|
82 | 25 |
input, if written. It draws 1-pixel borders around windows to indicate the |
26 |
focus state. Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of the window |
|
27 |
displaying the tags and the window title. |
