It manages windows in tiling and floating -modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, depending on the application in -use and the task performed. +dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiled, monocle +and floating layouts. Either layout can be applied dynamically, optimising 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 needs most attention at a time, whereas the -stacking column contains all other windows in a stack. Dialog windows are -managed floating, however. In floating mode windows can be resized and moved -freely. +In tiled layouts 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 monocle layout all windows are +maximised to the screen size. In floating layout windows can be resized and +moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating, regardless of the +layout applied. .P -Windows are grouped by tags. All windows with a specific tag can be viewed at a -time. But each window may contain more than one tag, which makes it visible in -several views. +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 -.B dwm -has a small status bar which reads the text displayed from standard -input, if written. It draws 1-pixel borders around windows to indicate the -focus state. Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of the window -displaying the tags and the window title. +Each screen contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the +layout, the title of the focused window, and the text read from the root window +name property, if the screen is focused. A floating window is indicated with an +empty square and a maximised floating window is indicated with a filled square +before the windows title. The selected tags are indicated with a different +color. The tags of the focused window are indicated with a filled square in the +top left corner. The tags which are applied to one or more windows are +indicated with an empty square in the top left corner. +.P +dwm draws a small border around windows to indicate the focus state. .SH OPTIONS .TP .B \-v prints version information to standard output, then exits. .SH USAGE +.SS Status bar .TP -.B Mod1-Return -Zoom -.B window -to the -.B master -column -.TP -.B Mod1-k -Focus previous -.B window -.TP -.B Mod1-j -Focus next -.B window -.TP -.B Mod1-m -Maximize current -.B window -.TP -.B Mod1-[0..n] -Focus -.B nth -tag -.TP -.B Mod1-space -Toggle between -.B tiled -and -.B floating -mode (affects -.BR "all windows" ) -.TP -.B Mod1-Shift-[0..n] -Apply -.B nth -tag to current -.B window -.TP -.B Mod1-Shift-q -Quit -.B dwm +.B X root window name +is read and displayed in the status text area.

The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in recent JDK 1.5 and early +JDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a reparenting window manager. Possible workarounds +are using JDK 1.4 (which doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or setting the +environment variable +.BR AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit +(to use the older Motif backend instead) or running +.B xprop -root -f _NET_WM_NAME 32a -set _NET_WM_NAME LG3D +or +.B wmname LG3D +(to pretend that a non-reparenting window manager is running that the +XToolkit/XAWT backend can recognize) or when using OpenJDK setting the environment variable +.BR _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 . +.P +GTK 2.10.9+ versions contain a broken +.BR Save\-As +file dialog implementation, +which requests to reconfigure its window size in an endless loop. However, its +window is still respondable during this state, so you can simply ignore the flicker +until a new GTK version appears, which will fix this bug, approximately +GTK 2.10.12+ versions.
