Description

- dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11. -

Background

- 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 ion, larswm, and wmii

- In contrast to ion, larswm, and wmii, dwm is much smaller, faster and simpler. -

- dwm has no Lua integration, no 9P support, no editable - tagbars, no shell-based configuration, no remote control, and comes - without any additional tools like printing the selection or warping - the mouse. -
- dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never - exceed 2000 SLOC. -
- dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however - simpler than ion, wmii or larswm). 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 doesn't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or - tiled layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are in - tiled mode or not, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. - Popup- and fixed-size windows are treated floating, however. -
- dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it - extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data - which hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names - and status text read from standard input. You don't have to learn - Lua/sh/ruby or some weird configuration file format (like X - resource files), beside C to customize it for your needs, - you only have to learn C (at least editing header files). -
- Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it's - pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase - small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions. -
- dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real - estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of - unfocused clients. -
- dwm reads from standard input to print arbitrary status text (like - the date, load, battery charge). That's much simpler than - larsremote, wmiir and what not... -
- It can be downloaded and distributed under the conditions - of the MIT/X Consortium license. -
- Optionally you can install dmenu to extend dwm with a wmii-alike menu. -

Development

- dwm is actively developed in parallel to wmii. You can browse its source code repository or get a copy using Mercurial with following command: -

- hg clone http://10kloc.org/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm -

- hg clone http://10kloc.org/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dmenu -

Miscellaneous

- You can purchase this tricot - if you like dwm and the dwm logo, which has been designed by Anselm. -
