garbeam@0: .SH DESCRIPTION
garbeam@38: .B dwm
arg@316: is a dynamic window manager for X. 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.
