garbeam@36 20 <h3>Description</h3>
garbeam@34 21 <p>
garbeam@34 22 dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11.
garbeam@34 23 </p>
garbeam@36 24 <h3>Differences to wmii</h3
garbeam@34 25 <p>
garbeam@34 26 In contrast to wmii, dwm is only a window manager, and nothing else.
garbeam@36 27 Hence, it is much smaller, faster and simpler.
garbeam@34 28 </p>
garbeam@34 29 <ul>
garbeam@36 30 <li>
garbeam@36 31 dwm has no 9P support, no status bar, no menu, no editable tagbars,
garbeam@36 32 no shell-based configuration and remote control and comes without
garbeam@36 33 any additional tools like printing the selection or warping the
garbeam@36 34 mouse.
garbeam@36 35 </li>
garbeam@36 36 <li>
garbeam@36 37 dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never
garbeam@36 38 exceed 2000 SLOC.
garbeam@36 39 </li>
garbeam@36 40 <li>
garbeam@36 41 dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it
garbeam@36 42 extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which
garbeam@36 43 hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names.
garbeam@36 44 </li>
garbeam@36 45 <li>
garbeam@36 46 dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however simpler
garbeam@36 47 than wmii or larswm).
garbeam@36 48 </li>
garbeam@36 49 <li>
garbeam@36 50 dwm don't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or
garbeam@36 51 managed layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are
garbeam@36 52 managed or not, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. Popup-
garbeam@36 53 and fixed-size windows are treated unmanaged.
garbeam@36 54 </li>
garbeam@36 55 <li>
garbeam@36 56 dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real
garbeam@36 57 estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of unfocused
garbeam@36 58 clients.
garbeam@36 59 </li>
garbeam@36 60 <li>
garbeam@40 61 garbeam <b>does not</b> want any feedback to dwm. If you ask for support,
garbeam@36 62 feature requests or if you report bugs, they will be <b>ignored</b>
garbeam@36 63 with a high chance. dwm is only intended to fit garbeam's needs,
garbeam@36 64 however you are free to download and distribute/relicense it, with the
garbeam@36 65 conditions of the <a href="http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm?f=f10eb1139362;file=LICENSE;style=raw">MIT/X Consortium license</a>.

garbeam@34 73 <p>
garbeam@34 74 dwm is actively developed in parallel to wmii. You can <a href="http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm">browse</a> its source code repository or get a copy using <a href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/">Mercurial</a> with following command:
