dwm - dynamic window manager ============================ dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X. Requirements ------------ In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files. Installation ------------ Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default). Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if necessary as root): make clean install Running dwm ----------- Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx: exec dwm In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.: DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.) In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something like this in your .xinitrc: while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`" do sleep 1 done & exec dwm Configuration ------------- The configuration of dwm is done by modifying config.def.h, after which make clean install should be run to apply the configuration changes Plugins Installed ------------- This fork of dwm provides several patches to enhance the user experience - Alpha: Allow for transparency in the window borders and status bar - Fullgaps: Gaps between windows. Can be adjusted with super + +/- and defaults can be set with super + shift + +/- - Fibonacci: Provides the fibonacci type spiral layouts - barheight: Allows for manual adjustment of the bar height - movestack: Swap positions of windows in the stack, useful for rearranging windows - barpadding: float status bar in window - centerwindowname: center window title in status bar - staticstatus: keep system stats only on one monitor (default behavior is for stats to follow focused window) - centeredmaster: adds centered master layout Misc Changes ------------- - uses dmenu-chandlerj which is available at this repo: https://github.com/chandlerj/dmenu-chandlerj dmenu is set to open in the center of the screen using the -c flag - includes support for the dmenu plugin bmks which provides bookmarks - uses rstatus for status bar; available at: https://github.com/chandlerj/rstatus
