1 dwm - dynamic window manager
2 ----------------------------
3 dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
6 Requirements
7 ------------
8 In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
11 Installation
12 ------------
13 Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
14 the /usr/local namespace by default).
16 Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
17 necessary as root):
19 make clean install
22 Running dwm
23 -----------
24 Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
26 exec dwm
28 In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
29 the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
31 DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
33 (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
35 In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
36 like this in your .xinitrc:
38 while true
39 do
40 echo `date` `uptime | sed 's/.*://; s/,//g'`
41 sleep 1
42 done | dwm
45 Configuration
46 -------------
47 The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
48 and (re)compiling the source code.
