<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> |
