118 | 20 <h3>Description</h3> |
34 | 21 <p> |
22 dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11. | |
23 </p> | |
90 | 24 <h4>Philosophy</h4> |
47 | 25 <p> |
26 As founder and main developer of wmii I came to the conclusion that | |
27 wmii is too clunky for my needs. I don't need so many funky features | |
28 and all this hype about remote control through a 9P service, I only | |
29 want to manage my windows in a simple, but dynamic way. wmii never got | |
30 finished because I listened to users, who proposed arbitrary ideas I | |
88 | 31 considered useful. This resulted in an extreme <a |
32 href="http://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html">CADT</a> development model, | |
33 which was a mistake. Thus the philosophy of dwm is simply <i>to fit my | |
34 needs</i> (maybe yours as well). That's it. | |
47 | 35 </p> |
90 | 36 <h4>Differences to ion, larswm, and wmii</h4> |
34 | 37 <p> |
88 | 38 In contrast to ion, larswm, and wmii, dwm is much smaller, faster and simpler. |
34 | 39 </p> |
40 <ul> | |
36 | 41 <li> |
88 | 42 dwm has no Lua integration, no 9P support, no menu, no editable |
43 tagbars, no shell-based configuration, no remote control, and comes | |
44 without any additional tools like printing the selection or warping | |
45 the mouse. | |
36 | 46 </li> |
47 <li> | |
48 dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never | |
49 exceed 2000 SLOC. | |
50 </li> | |
51 <li> | |
88 | 52 dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however |
53 simpler than ion, wmii or larswm). It manages windows in | |
54 tiling and floating modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, | |
55 depending on the application in use and the task performed. | |
36 | 56 </li> |
57 <li> | |
58 dwm don't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or | |
88 | 59 tiled layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are in |
60 tiled mode or not, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. | |
61 Popup- and fixed-size windows are treated floating, however. | |
62 </li> | |
63 <li> | |
64 dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it | |
65 extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data | |
66 which hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names | |
67 and status text read from standard input. You don't have to learn | |
68 Lua/sh/ruby or some weird configuration file format (like X | |
69 resource files), beside C to customize it for your needs, | |
70 you <b>only</b> have to learn C. | |
71 </li> | |
72 <li> | |
73 Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it's | |
74 pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase | |
75 small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions. | |
36 | 76 </li> |
77 <li> | |
78 dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real | |
88 | 79 estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of |
80 unfocused clients. | |
81 </li> | |
82 <li> | |
83 dwm reads from standard input to print arbitrary status text (like | |
84 the date, load, battery charge). That's much simpler than | |
85 larsremote, wmiir and what not... | |
36 | 86 </li> |
87 <li> | |
