- dwm - dynamic window manager
- ============================
- dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
- Requirements
- ------------
- In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
- Installation
- ------------
- Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
- the /usr/local namespace by default).
- Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
- necessary as root):
- make clean install
- If you are going to use the default bluegray color scheme it is highly
- recommended to also install the bluegray files shipped in the dextra package.
- Running dwm
- -----------
- Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
- exec dwm
- In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
- the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
- DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
- (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
- In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
- like this in your .xinitrc:
- while true
- do
- xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
- sleep 1
- done &
- exec dwm
- Configuration
- -------------
- The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
- and (re)compiling the source code.
