1 dwm - dynamic window manager
2 ----------------------------
3 dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic X11 window manager.
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
21 If you want to use a customized config.h, you can use the following
22 command for installing dwm:
24 make CONFIG=<your-config>.h clean install
27 Running dwm
28 -----------
29 Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
31 exec dwm
33 In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
34 the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
36 DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
38 This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.
41 Displaying status info
42 ----------------------
43 In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
44 like this in your .xinitrc:
46 while true
47 do
48 echo `date` `uptime | sed 's/.*://; s/,//g'`
49 sleep 1
50 done | dwm
53 Configuration
54 -------------
55 The configuration of dwm is done by editing config.h.
