In contrast to wmii, dwm is only a window manager, and nothing else.
+ − 26
Hence, it is much smaller, faster and simpler. dwm does

< b > not</ b > include following features wmii provides:

dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never
+ − 39
exceed 2000 SLOC.

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.

dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however simpler

than wmii or larswm).

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.

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.

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
