<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> |
||||
<em>hg clone http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm</em> |
