dynamic window manager
+Description +
+ dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11. +
+Differences to wmii
+ In contrast to wmii, dwm is only a window manager, and nothing else. + Hence, it is much smaller, faster and simpler. dwm does + not include following features wmii provides: + +-
+
- 9P support +
- status bar +
- menu +
- editable tagbars +
- shell-based config/control file +
- small tools (selection printer, mouse warper) +
+ dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never + exceed 2000 SLOC. +
++ 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. +
++ 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 + 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. +
++ 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. +
++ garbeam don't wants any feedback to dwm. If you ask for support, + feature requests or if you report bugs, they will be ignored + 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 MIT/X Consortium license. +
+Development
++ dwm is actively developed in parallel to wmii. You can browse its source code repository or get a copy using Mercurial with following command: +
++ hg clone http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm +
