.SH NAME |
|
dwm \- dynamic window manager |
|
.SH SYNOPSIS |
|
.B dwm |
|
.RB [ \-v ] |
|
.SH DESCRIPTION |
|
.B dwm |
|
is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiling and floating |
|
modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, optimizing the environment for |
|
the application in use and the task performed. |
|
.P |
|
In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking column. The master |
|
column contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the |
|
stacking column contains all other windows. In floating mode windows can be |
|
resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating, |
|
regardless of the mode selected. |
|
.P |
|
Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple |
|
tags. Selecting a certain tag for viewing will display all windows with that |
|
tag. |
|
.P |
|
.B dwm |
|
contains a small status bar which displays the text read from standard |
|
input. It also displays all active tags and the title of the focused window. |
|
.P |
|
.B dwm draws a 1-pixel border around windows to indicate the focus state. |
|
Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of them displaying their tags |
|
and title. |
