< 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.

< 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

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.

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,
+ − 64
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 > .
