+ <h3>dynamic window manager</h3>

+ <h2>Description</h3>
+ <p>
+ dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11.
+ </p>
+ <h2>Differences to wmii</h2
+ <p>
+ In contrast to wmii, dwm is only a window manager, and nothing else.
+ Hence, it is much smaller, faster and simpler. dwm does
+ <b>not</b> include following features wmii provides:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>9P support</li>
+ <li>status bar</li>
+ <li>menu</li>
+ <li>editable tagbars</li>
+ <li>shell-based config/control file</li>
+ <li>small tools (selection printer, mouse warper)</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never
+ exceed 2000 SLOC.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it
+ extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which
+ hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however simpler
+ than wmii or larswm).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ dwm don't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or managed
+ layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are managed or not
+ managed, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. Popup- and
+ fixed-size windows are treated unmanaged.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real
+ estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of unfocused
+ clients.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ 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
+ conditions of the <a href="http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm?f=f10eb1139362;file=LICENSE;style=raw">MIT/X Consortium license</a>.
+ </p>
+ <h2>Development</h2>
+ <p>
+ 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:
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <em>hg clone http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm</em>
