= davidpkj’s dynamic window manager
https://dwm.suckless.org/dwm[dwm] is a dynamic window manager for https://www.x.org/wiki/[X] which sucks less.
Added feautres:
- Center title
- Layout cycling (tiled, tabbed, floating)
- Xresources utilization
- XF86 Keys utilization
- Always-on-top functionality
- Sticky windows functionality
- Swallowing terminals functionality
- Gaps everywhere
- Inner status bar padding
- Tags have own layouts
- Fancy and functional tabbed bar
- Movable child windows
== 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):
```bash
make clean install
```
== Running dwm
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
```bash
exec dwm
```
In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
```bash
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:
```bash
while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
do
sleep 1
done &
exec dwm
```
== Configuration
The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
and (re)compiling the source code.
