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 creating a custom config.h
and (re)compiling the source code.

# dwm - dynamic window manager - Mike's build
## Patches Applied
* [Swallow](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/swallow/)
* [Hide Vacant Tags](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/hide_vacant_tags/)
* [Pertag](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/pertag/)
### Patch Management
Patches are applied using [Quilt](https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/quilt/quilt/), which is a patch manager that allows you to easily apply multiple patches, revert specific patches, etc. It makes customizing suckless projects much easier since most changes are done via patches.
## Installation
```sh
git clone https://git.mjwilson.org/mike/dwm.git
cd dwm
sudo make clean install
```
