garbeam@0 7 .SH DESCRIPTION
garbeam@38 8 .B dwm
garbeam@82 9 is a dynamic window manager for X11. It manages windows in tiling and floating
arg@174 10 modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, optimizing the environment for
arg@174 11 the application in use and the task performed.
garbeam@79 12 .P
garbeam@82 13 In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking column. The master
arg@174 14 column contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the
arg@174 15 stacking column contains all other windows. In floating mode windows can be
arg@174 16 resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating,
arg@174 17 regardless of the mode selected.
garbeam@80 18 .P
arg@174 19 Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
arg@174 20 tags. Selecting a certain tag for viewing will display all windows with that
arg@174 21 tag.

garbeam@83 23 .B dwm
arg@174 24 has a small status bar which displays the text read from standard
arg@174 25 input, if written. Besides that, it displays all available tags, and the title
arg@174 26 of the focused window. It draws a 1-pixel border around windows to
arg@174 27 indicate the focus state. Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of
arg@174 28 them displaying their tags and title.
