-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.
