1 dwm - dynamic window manager
2 ----------------------------
3 dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic X11 window manager.
6 Requirements
7 ------------
8 In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
11 Installation
12 ------------
13 Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
14 the /usr/local namespace by default).
16 Afterwards enter the following commands to build and install dwm (if
17 necessary as root):
19 cp config.default.h config.h
20 make clean install
23 Running dwm
24 -----------
25 Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
27 exec dwm
29 In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
30 the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
32 DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
34 (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
36 In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
37 like this in your .xinitrc:
39 while true
40 do
41 echo `date` `uptime | sed 's/.*://; s/,//g'`
42 sleep 1
43 done | dwm
46 Configuration
47 -------------
48 The configuration of dwm is done by editing config.h.
