|
|

20 <p>
|
|
|
21 dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11.
|
|
|
22 </p>
|
|
|
23 <h2>Differences to wmii</h2
|
|
|
24 <p>
|
|
|
25 In contrast to wmii, dwm is only a window manager, and nothing else.
|
|
|
26 Hence, it is much smaller, faster and simpler. dwm does
|
|
|
27 <b>not</b> include following features wmii provides:
|
|
|
28 </p>
|
|
|
29 <ul>
|
|
|
30 <li>9P support</li>
|
|
|
31 <li>status bar</li>
|
|
|
32 <li>menu</li>
|
|
|
33 <li>editable tagbars</li>
|
|
|
34 <li>shell-based config/control file</li>
|
|
|
35 <li>small tools (selection printer, mouse warper)</li>
|
|
|
36 </ul>
|
|
|
37 <p>
|
|
|
38 dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never
|
|
|
39 exceed 2000 SLOC.
|
|
|
40 </p>
|
|
|
41 <p>
|
|
|
42 dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it
|
|
|
43 extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which
|
|
|
44 hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names.
|
|
|
45 </p>
|
|
|
46 <p>
|
|
|
47 dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however simpler
|
|
|
48 than wmii or larswm).
|
|
|
49 </p>
|
|
|
50 <p>
|
|
|
51 dwm don't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or managed
|
|
|
52 layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are managed or not
|
|
|
53 managed, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. Popup- and
|
|
|
54 fixed-size windows are treated unmanaged.
|
|
|
55 </p>
|
|
|
56 <p>
|
|
|
57 dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real
|
|
|
58 estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of unfocused
|
|
|
59 clients.
|
|
|
60 </p>
|
|
|
61 <p>
|
|
|
62 garbeam <b>don't</b> wants any feedback to dwm. If you ask for support,
|
|
|
63 feature requests or if you report bugs, they will be <b>ignored</b>
|
|
|
64 with a high chance. dwm is only intended to fit garbeam's needs,
|
|
|
65 however you are free to download and distribute/relicense it, with the
|
|
|
66 conditions of the <a href="http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm?f=f10eb1139362;file=LICENSE;style=raw">MIT/X Consortium license</a>.

68 <h2>Development</h2>
|
|
|
69 <p>
|
|
|
70 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:
