<h3>dynamic window manager</h3>

<h3>Description</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h3>Differences to wmii</h3
|
|
<p>
|
|
In contrast to wmii, dwm is only a window manager, and nothing else.
|
|
Hence, it is much smaller, faster and simpler.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
dwm has no 9P support, no status bar, no menu, no editable tagbars,
|
|
no shell-based configuration and remote control and comes without
|
|
any additional tools like printing the selection or warping the
|
|
mouse.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never
|
|
exceed 2000 SLOC.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it
|
|
extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which
|
|
hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however simpler
|
|
than wmii or larswm).
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
dwm don't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or
|
|
managed layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are
|
|
managed or not, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. Popup-
|
|
and fixed-size windows are treated unmanaged.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real
|
|
estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of unfocused
|
|
clients.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
garbeam <b>does not</b> want any feedback to dwm. If you ask for support,
|
|
feature requests, or if you report bugs, they will be <b>ignored</b>
|
|
with a high chance. dwm is only intended to fit garbeams needs.
|
|

|
|
