 .SH SYNOPSIS
 .B dwm
 .RB [ \-v ]
 .SH DESCRIPTION
-.SS Overview
 .B dwm
-is a dynamic window manager for X11.
-.SS Options
+is a dynamic window manager for X11. 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 column. The master
+column contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the
+stacking column 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 a certain tag for viewing will display all windows with that
+tag.
+.P
+.B dwm
+has a small status bar which displays the text read from standard
+input, if written. Besides that, it displays all available tags, and the title
+of the focused window. It draws a 1-pixel border around windows to
+indicate the focus state. Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of
+them displaying their tags and title.
