garbeam@0: .RB [ \-v ]
garbeam@0: .SH DESCRIPTION
garbeam@38: .B dwm
garbeam@82: is a dynamic window manager for X11. It manages windows in tiling and floating
arg@174: modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, optimizing the environment for
arg@174: the application in use and the task performed.
garbeam@79: .P
garbeam@82: In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking column. The master
arg@174: column contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the
arg@174: stacking column contains all other windows. In floating mode windows can be
arg@174: resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating,
arg@174: regardless of the mode selected.
garbeam@80: .P
arg@174: Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
arg@174: tags. Selecting a certain tag for viewing will display all windows with that
arg@174: tag.
garbeam@79: .P
garbeam@83: .B dwm
arg@174: has a small status bar which displays the text read from standard
arg@174: input, if written. Besides that, it displays all available tags, and the title
arg@174: of the focused window. It draws a 1-pixel border around windows to
arg@174: indicate the focus state. Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of
arg@174: them displaying their tags and title.
