dynamic window manager

Description

dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11.

Philosophy

As founder and main developer of wmii I came to the conclusion that wmii is too clunky for my needs. I don't need so many funky features and all this hype about remote control through a 9P service, I only want to manage my windows in a simple, but dynamic way. wmii never got finished because I listened to users, who proposed arbitrary ideas I considered useful. This resulted in an extreme CADT development model, which was a mistake. Thus the philosophy of dwm is simply to fit my needs (maybe yours as well). That's it.

Differences to wmii

In contrast to wmii, dwm is only a window manager, and nothing else. Hence, it is much smaller, faster and simpler.
