| 19 <h2>Description</h3> | |
| 20 <p> | |
| 21 dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11. | |
| 22 </p> | |
| 23 <h2>Differences to wmii</h2 | |
| 24 <p> | |
| 25 In contrast to wmii, dwm is only a window manager, and nothing else. | |
| 26 Hence, it is much smaller, faster and simpler. dwm does | |
| 27 <b>not</b> include following features wmii provides: | |
| 28 </p> | |
| 29 <ul> | |
| 30 <li>9P support</li> | |
| 31 <li>status bar</li> | |
| 32 <li>menu</li> | |
| 33 <li>editable tagbars</li> | |
| 34 <li>shell-based config/control file</li> | |
| 35 <li>small tools (selection printer, mouse warper)</li> | |
| 36 </ul> | |
| 37 <p> | |
| 38 dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never | |
| 39 exceed 2000 SLOC. | |
| 40 </p> | |
| 41 <p> | |
| 42 dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it | |
| 43 extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which | |
| 44 hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names. | |
| 45 </p> | |
| 46 <p> | |
| 47 dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however simpler | |
| 48 than wmii or larswm). | |
| 49 </p> | |
| 50 <p> | |
| 51 dwm don't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or managed | |
| 52 layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are managed or not | |
| 53 managed, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. Popup- and | |
| 54 fixed-size windows are treated unmanaged. | |
| 55 </p> | |
| 56 <p> | |
| 57 dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real | |
| 58 estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of unfocused | |
| 59 clients. | |
| 60 </p> | |
| 61 <p> | |
| 62 garbeam <b>don't</b> wants any feedback to dwm. If you ask for support, | |
| 63 feature requests or if you report bugs, they will be <b>ignored</b> | |
| 64 with a high chance. dwm is only intended to fit garbeam's needs, | |
| 65 however you are free to download and distribute/relicense it, with the | |
| 66 conditions of the <a href="http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm?f=f10eb1139362;file=LICENSE;style=raw">MIT/X Consortium license</a>. | |
| 67 </p> | |
| 68 <h2>Development</h2> | |
| 69 <p> | |
| 70 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: | |
