garbeam@0: .SH DESCRIPTION
meillo@775: This man page is the one from dwm-3.4 on which aewl is based.
meillo@759: It is partly updated, but not totally.
meillo@759: .P
arg@445: dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiling and
arg@445: floating modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, optimizing the
arg@445: environment for the application in use and the task performed.
garbeam@79: .P
arg@504: In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master
arg@657: area contains the windows which currently need most attention, whereas the
arg@504: stacking area contains all other windows. In floating mode windows can be
arg@174: resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating,
arg@667: regardless of the mode applied.
garbeam@80: .P
arg@174: Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
arg@470: tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags.
garbeam@79: .P
arg@445: dwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the mode,
arg@445: the title of the focused window, and the text read from standard input. The
arg@575: selected tags are indicated with a different color. The tags of the focused
arg@606: window are indicated with a filled square in the top left corner.  The tags
arg@625: which are applied to one or more windows are indicated with an empty square in
arg@606: the top left corner.
arg@316: .P
arg@700: dwm draws a small border around windows to indicate the focus state.

arg@723: .SH BUGS
arg@347: The status bar may display
arg@633: .BR "EOF"
arg@632: when dwm has been started by an X session manager like
arg@264: .BR xdm (1),
arg@632: because those close standard output before executing dwm.
arg@632: .P
arg@632: Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw grey windows
arg@632: only. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in recent JDK 1.5 and early
arg@634: JDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a reparenting window manager. As a workaround
arg@634: you can use JDK 1.4 (which doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or you
arg@634: can set the following environment variable (to use the older Motif
arg@632: backend instead):
arg@632: .BR AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit .
