DWM - DYNAMIC WINDOW MANAGER
Suckless
______________________________
dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
Requirements
============
In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files. Optionally you
will also need xinerama.
Installation
============
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into the
/usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
necessary as root):
,----
| make clean install
`----
Running dwm
===========
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
,----
| exec dwm
`----
In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that the
DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
,----
| DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
`----
(This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something like
this in your .xinitrc:
,----
| while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
| do
| sleep 1
| done &
| exec dwm
`----
Configuration
=============
The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h and
(re)compiling the source code. Refer to dwm(1) (stored in this
repository as well) to find more information.
