.SH DESCRIPTION
|
2007-02-22 13:43:41 -03:00
|
|
|
dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiled and
|
|
|
|
untiled layouts. Either layout can be applied dynamically, optimizing the
|
2006-09-07 04:26:01 -03:00
|
|
|
environment for the application in use and the task performed.

In tiled layout windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master
|
2007-01-05 11:37:10 -03:00
|
|
|
area contains the windows which currently need most attention, whereas the
|
2007-02-22 13:43:41 -03:00
|
|
|
stacking area contains all other windows. In untiled layout windows can be
|
|
|
|
resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed untiled,
|
2007-02-19 12:40:36 -03:00
|
|
|
regardless of the layout applied.

Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
|
2006-09-20 04:45:39 -03:00
|
|
|
tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags.

dwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the layout,
|
2007-02-22 06:57:19 -03:00
|

the title of the focused window, and the text read from standard input. A

untiled window is indicated with an empty square and a maximized

|
untiled window is indicated with a filled square before the windows
|
2007-02-22 06:57:19 -03:00

|
title. The selected tags are indicated with a different color. The tags of
|
|
|
|
the focused window are indicated with a filled square in the top left
|
2007-02-22 06:52:57 -03:00
|
|
|
corner. The tags which are applied to one or more windows are indicated
|
|
|
|
with an empty square in the top left corner.

.SH CUSTOMIZATION
|
2006-09-07 04:26:01 -03:00
|
|
|
dwm is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source
|
2006-08-03 05:58:29 -03:00
|
|
|
code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.

|
2006-08-24 05:20:00 -03:00
|
|
|
The status bar may display
|
2006-12-13 09:53:10 -03:00
|
|
|
.BR "EOF"
|
2006-12-13 09:42:17 -03:00
|
|
|
when dwm has been started by an X session manager like
|
2006-08-13 13:04:42 -03:00
|
|
|
.BR xdm (1),
|
2006-12-13 09:42:17 -03:00
|
|
|
because those close standard output before executing dwm.
|
|
|
|
.P
|
|
|
|
Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw grey windows
|
|
|
|
only. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in recent JDK 1.5 and early
|
2006-12-13 10:15:38 -03:00
|
|
|
JDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a reparenting window manager. As a workaround
|
|
|
|
you can use JDK 1.4 (which doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or you
|
|
|
|
can set the following environment variable (to use the older Motif
|
2006-12-13 09:42:17 -03:00
|
|
|
backend instead):
|
|
|
|
.BR AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit .
