13 .SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
meillo@775
|
14 This man page is the one from dwm-3.4 on which aewl is based.
|
|
meillo@759
|
15 It is partly updated, but not totally.

|
17 dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiling and
|
|
arg@445
|
18 floating modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, optimizing the
|
|
arg@445
|
19 environment for the application in use and the task performed.
|
|
garbeam@79
|
20 .P
|
|
arg@504
|
21 In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master
|
|
arg@657
|
22 area contains the windows which currently need most attention, whereas the
|
|
arg@504
|
23 stacking area contains all other windows. In floating mode windows can be
|
|
arg@174
|
24 resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating,
|
|
arg@667
|
25 regardless of the mode applied.
|
|
garbeam@80
|
26 .P
|
|
arg@174
|
27 Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
|
|
arg@470
|
28 tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags.
|
|
garbeam@79
|
29 .P
|
|
arg@445
|
30 dwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the mode,
|
|
arg@445
|
31 the title of the focused window, and the text read from standard input. The
|
|
arg@575
|
32 selected tags are indicated with a different color. The tags of the focused
|
|
arg@606
|
33 window are indicated with a filled square in the top left corner. The tags
|
|
arg@625
|
34 which are applied to one or more windows are indicated with an empty square in
|
|
arg@606
|
35 the top left corner.
|
|
arg@316
|
36 .P
|
|
arg@700
|
37 dwm draws a small border around windows to indicate the focus state.

97 .SH CUSTOMIZATION
|
|
arg@445
|
98 dwm is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source
|
|
arg@174
|
99 code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.

106 .SH BUGS
|
|
arg@347
|
107 The status bar may display
|
|
arg@633
|
108 .BR "EOF"
|
|
arg@632
|
109 when dwm has been started by an X session manager like
|
|
arg@264
|
110 .BR xdm (1),
|
|
arg@632
|
111 because those close standard output before executing dwm.
|
|
arg@632
|
112 .P
|
|
arg@632
|
113 Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw grey windows
|
|
arg@632
|
114 only. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in recent JDK 1.5 and early
|
|
arg@634
|
115 JDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a reparenting window manager. As a workaround
|
|
arg@634
|
116 you can use JDK 1.4 (which doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or you
|
|
arg@634
|
117 can set the following environment variable (to use the older Motif
|
|
arg@632
|
118 backend instead):
|
|
arg@632
|
119 .BR AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit .
