34
+ − 21 <p>
+ − 22 dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11.
+ − 23 </p>
36
+ − 24 <h3>Differences to wmii</h3
34
+ − 25 <p>
+ − 26 In contrast to wmii, dwm is only a window manager, and nothing else.
36
+ − 27 Hence, it is much smaller, faster and simpler.
34
+ − 28 </p>
+ − 29 <ul>
36
+ − 30 <li>
+ − 31 dwm has no 9P support, no status bar, no menu, no editable tagbars,
+ − 32 no shell-based configuration and remote control and comes without
+ − 33 any additional tools like printing the selection or warping the
+ − 34 mouse.
+ − 35 </li>
+ − 36 <li>
+ − 37 dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never
+ − 38 exceed 2000 SLOC.
+ − 39 </li>
+ − 40 <li>
+ − 41 dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it
+ − 42 extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which
+ − 43 hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names.
+ − 44 </li>
+ − 45 <li>
+ − 46 dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however simpler
+ − 47 than wmii or larswm).
+ − 48 </li>
+ − 49 <li>
+ − 50 dwm don't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or
+ − 51 managed layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are
+ − 52 managed or not, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. Popup-
+ − 53 and fixed-size windows are treated unmanaged.
+ − 54 </li>
+ − 55 <li>
+ − 56 dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real
+ − 57 estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of unfocused
+ − 58 clients.
+ − 59 </li>
+ − 60 <li>
+ − 61 garbeam <b>don't</b> wants any feedback to dwm. If you ask for support,
+ − 62 feature requests or if you report bugs, they will be <b>ignored</b>
+ − 63 with a high chance. dwm is only intended to fit garbeam's needs,
+ − 64 however you are free to download and distribute/relicense it, with the
+ − 65 conditions of the <a href="http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm?f=f10eb1139362;file=LICENSE;style=raw">MIT/X Consortium license</a>.

36
+ − 72 <h3>Development</h3>
34
+ − 73 <p>
+ − 74 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:
