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.

## 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.
|
||||

||||
```sh
|
||||
git clone https://git.mjwilson.org/mike/dwm.git
