.SH NAME |
|
dwm \- dynamic window manager |
|
.SH SYNOPSIS |
|
.B dwm |
|
.RB [ \-v ] |
|
.SH DESCRIPTION |
|
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 area. The master |
|
area contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the |
|
stacking area 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 certain tags displays all windows with these tags. |
|
.P |
|
dwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the mode, |
|
the title of the focused window, and the text read from standard input. The |
|
selected tags are indicated with a different color. The tags of the focused |
|
window are indicated with a filled square in the top left corner. The tags |
|
which are applied to one or more windows are indicated with an empty square in |
|
the top left corner. |
|
.P |
|
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 title. |

|
.SH CUSTOMIZATION |
|
dwm is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source |
|
code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple. |
|
.SH CAVEATS |
|
The status bar may display |
|
.BR "EOF" |
|
when dwm has been started by an X session manager like |
|
.BR xdm (1), |
|
because those close standard output before executing dwm. |
|
.P |
|
Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw grey windows |
|
only. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in recent JDK 1.5 and early |
|
JDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a reparenting window manager. As a workaround |
|
you can use JDK 1.4 (which doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or you |
|
can set the following environment variable (to use the older Motif |
|
backend instead): |
|
.BR AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit . |
