     1.7 +.SH NAME
     1.8 +aewl \- a fork of dwm, the dynamic window manager
     1.9 +
    1.10 +
    1.11 +.SH SYNOPSIS
    1.12 +.B aewl
    1.13 +.RB [ \-v ]
    1.14 +
    1.15 +
    1.16 +.SH DESCRIPTION
    1.17 +This man page is the one from dwm 4.4.1 on which aewl is based.
    1.18 +It is partly updated, but not totally.
    1.19 +.P
    1.20 +dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiling and
    1.21 +floating modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, optimizing the
    1.22 +environment for the application in use and the task performed.
    1.23 +.P
    1.24 +In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master
    1.25 +area contains the windows which currently need most attention, whereas the
    1.26 +stacking area contains all other windows. In floating mode windows can be
    1.27 +resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating,
    1.28 +regardless of the mode applied.
    1.29 +.P
    1.30 +Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
    1.31 +tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags.
    1.32 +.P
    1.33 +dwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the mode,
    1.34 +the title of the focused window, and the text read from standard input. The
    1.35 +selected tags are indicated with a different color. The tags of the focused
    1.36 +window are indicated with a filled square in the top left corner.  The tags
    1.37 +which are applied to one or more windows are indicated with an empty square in
    1.38 +the top left corner.
    1.39 +.P
    1.40 +dwm draws a small border around windows to indicate the focus state.

   1.108 +.SH CUSTOMIZATION
   1.109 +dwm is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source
   1.110 +code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.

   1.117 +.SH BUGS
   1.118 +The status bar may display
   1.119 +.BR "EOF"
   1.120 +when dwm has been started by an X session manager like
   1.121 +.BR xdm (1),
   1.122 +because those close standard output before executing dwm.
   1.123 +.P
   1.124 +Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw grey windows
   1.125 +only. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in recent JDK 1.5 and early
   1.126 +JDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a reparenting window manager. As a workaround
   1.127 +you can use JDK 1.4 (which doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or you
   1.128 +can set the following environment variable (to use the older Motif
   1.129 +backend instead):
   1.130 +.BR AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit .
