<h2>Description</h3> |

dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11. |
|

<h2>Differences to wmii</h2 |
|
|
24 |
<p> |
|
|
25 |
In contrast to wmii, dwm is only a window manager, and nothing else. |
|
|
26 |
Hence, it is much smaller, faster and simpler. dwm does |
|
|
27 |
<b>not</b> include following features wmii provides: |
|
|
28 |
</p> |
|
|
29 |
<ul> |
|
|
30 |
<li>9P support</li> |
|
|
31 |
<li>status bar</li> |
|
|
32 |
<li>menu</li> |
|
|
33 |
<li>editable tagbars</li> |
|
|
34 |
<li>shell-based config/control file</li> |
|
|
35 |
<li>small tools (selection printer, mouse warper)</li> |
|
|
36 |
</ul> |
|
|
37 |
<p> |
|
|
38 |
dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never |
|
|
39 |
exceed 2000 SLOC. |
|
|
40 |
</p> |
|
|
41 |
<p> |
|
|
42 |
dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it |
|
|
43 |
extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which |
|
|
44 |
hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names. |
|
|
45 |
</p> |
|
|
46 |
<p> |
|
|
47 |
dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however simpler |
|
|
48 |
than wmii or larswm). |
|
|
49 |
</p> |
|
|
50 |
<p> |
|
|
51 |
dwm don't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or managed |
|
|
52 |
layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are managed or not |
|
|
53 |
managed, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. Popup- and |
|
|
54 |
fixed-size windows are treated unmanaged. |
|
|
55 |
</p> |
|
|
56 |
<p> |
|
|
57 |
dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real |
|
|
58 |
estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of unfocused |
|
|
59 |
clients. |
|
|

|
|
62 |
garbeam <b>don't</b> wants any feedback to dwm. If you ask for support, |
|
|
63 |
feature requests or if you report bugs, they will be <b>ignored</b> |
|
|
64 |
with a high chance. dwm is only intended to fit garbeam's needs, |
|
|
65 |
however you are free to download and distribute/relicense it, with the |
|
|
66 |
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> |
|
|
69 |
<p> |
|
|
70 |
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: |
|
|
71 |
</p> |
|
|
72 |

|
|
73 |
<em>hg clone http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm</em> |
