garbeam@0 2 .SH NAME
garbeam@39 3 dwm \- dynamic window manager
garbeam@0 4 .SH SYNOPSIS
garbeam@38 5 .B dwm
garbeam@0 6 .RB [ \-v ]
garbeam@0 7 .SH DESCRIPTION
garbeam@38 8 .B dwm
garbeam@82 9 is a dynamic window manager for X11. It manages windows in tiling and floating
garbeam@82 10 modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, depending on the application in
garbeam@82 11 use and the task performed.
garbeam@79 12 .P
garbeam@82 13 In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking column. The master
garbeam@82 14 column contains the window which needs most attention at a time, whereas the
garbeam@82 15 stacking column contains all other windows in a stack. Dialog windows are
garbeam@82 16 managed floating, however. In floating mode windows can be resized and moved
garbeam@82 17 freely.
garbeam@80 18 .P
garbeam@82 19 Windows are grouped by tags. All windows with a specific tag can be viewed at a
garbeam@82 20 time. But each window may contain more than one tag, which makes it visible in
garbeam@82 21 several views.
garbeam@79 22 .P
garbeam@83 23 .B dwm
arg@143 24 has a small status bar which reads the text displayed from standard
garbeam@82 25 input, if written. It draws 1-pixel borders around windows to indicate the
garbeam@82 26 focus state. Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of the window
garbeam@82 27 displaying the tags and the window title.
