Differences to wmii

garbeam@34: In contrast to wmii, dwm is only a window manager, and nothing else. garbeam@34: Hence, it is much smaller, faster and simpler. dwm does garbeam@34: not include following features wmii provides: garbeam@34:

garbeam@34: garbeam@34:

garbeam@34: dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never garbeam@34: exceed 2000 SLOC. garbeam@34:

garbeam@34:

garbeam@34: dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it garbeam@34: extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which garbeam@34: hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names. garbeam@34:

garbeam@34:

garbeam@34: dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however simpler garbeam@34: than wmii or larswm). garbeam@34:

garbeam@34:

garbeam@34: dwm don't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or managed garbeam@34: layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are managed or not garbeam@34: managed, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. Popup- and garbeam@34: fixed-size windows are treated unmanaged. garbeam@34:

garbeam@34:

garbeam@34: dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real garbeam@34: estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of unfocused garbeam@34: clients. garbeam@34:

garbeam@34:

garbeam@34: garbeam don't wants any feedback to dwm. If you ask for support, garbeam@34: feature requests or if you report bugs, they will be ignored garbeam@34: with a high chance. dwm is only intended to fit garbeam's needs, garbeam@34: however you are free to download and distribute/relicense it, with the garbeam@34: conditions of the MIT/X Consortium license. garbeam@34:
