-dwm - dynamic window manager
-----------------------------
-dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic X11 window manager.
+JasonWoof's fork of dwm - dynamic window manager
+================================================
+dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
+
+JasonWoof's modifications include:
+
+1. A new layout that's kinda like deck, but there's a little space above and
+ below the main slave window where you can see (a little bit of) the other
+ slave windows.
+
+2. When you've got only 1 window in a workspace: by default, it is in the
+ master area. A new tag/attribute is used to specify windows that should use
+ all available space when alone. This results in fewer window resizes, and
+ is nice for applications which are usually not so nice when they're huge
+ (eg firefox, mutt).
+
+3. _NET_WM_OPACITY is set. Run xcompmgr or the like, so you can see which
+ window has focus. (Non-zero width borders are probably broken in this fork)
+
+4. Terminals are spawned with environmental variable containing the current
+ workspace number. This can be used to eg have separate shell history per
+ workspace, and/or make terminals stay in their correct workspaces accross
+ dwm restarts.
Requirements

like this in your .xinitrc:
- while true
+ while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
do
- echo `date` `uptime | sed 's/.*://; s/,//g'`
- sleep 1
- done | dwm
+ sleep 1
+ done &
+ exec dwm
