+ − 19 <h2>Description</h3>
+ − 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>.
+ − 67 </p>
+ − 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:
