| 20 <h3>Description</h3> | |
| 34 | 21 <p> |
| 22 dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11. | |
| 23 </p> | |
| 36 | 24 <h3>Differences to wmii</h3 |
| 34 | 25 <p> |
| 26 In contrast to wmii, dwm is only a window manager, and nothing else. | |
| 36 | 27 Hence, it is much smaller, faster and simpler. |
| 34 | 28 </p> |
| 29 <ul> | |
| 36 | 30 <li> |
| 31 dwm has no 9P support, no status bar, no menu, no editable tagbars, | |
| 32 no shell-based configuration and remote control and comes without | |
| 33 any additional tools like printing the selection or warping the | |
| 34 mouse. | |
| 35 </li> | |
| 36 <li> | |
| 37 dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never | |
| 38 exceed 2000 SLOC. | |
| 39 </li> | |
| 40 <li> | |
| 41 dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it | |
| 42 extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which | |
| 43 hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names. | |
| 44 </li> | |
| 45 <li> | |
| 46 dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however simpler | |
| 47 than wmii or larswm). | |
| 48 </li> | |
| 49 <li> | |
| 50 dwm don't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or | |
| 51 managed layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are | |
| 52 managed or not, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. Popup- | |
| 53 and fixed-size windows are treated unmanaged. | |
| 54 </li> | |
| 55 <li> | |
| 56 dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real | |
| 57 estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of unfocused | |
| 58 clients. | |
| 59 </li> | |
| 60 <li> | |
