.SH NAME

dwm \- dynamic window manager
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B dwm
|
|
.RB [ \-v ]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiling and
|
|
floating modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, optimizing the
|
|
environment for the application in use and the task performed.
|
|
.P
|
|
In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master
|
|
area contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the
|
|
stacking area contains all other windows. In floating mode windows can be
|
|
resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating,
|
|
regardless of the mode selected.
|
|
.P
|
|
Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
|
|
tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags.
|
|
.P
|
|
dwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the mode,
|
|
the title of the focused window, and the text read from standard input. The
|
|
selected tags are highlighted with a different color, the tags of the focused
|
|
window are highlighted with a small point.
|
|
.P
|
|
dwm draws a 1-pixel border around windows to indicate the focus state.
|
|
Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of them displaying their title.
