.SH NAME
|
|
dwm \- dynamic window manager
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B dwm
|
|
.RB [ \-v ]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiling and
|
|
versatile layouts. Either layout can be applied dynamically, optimizing the
|
|
environment for the application in use and the task performed.
|
|
.P
|
|
In tiling layout windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master
|
|
area contains the windows which currently need most attention, whereas the
|
|
stacking area contains all other windows. In versatile layout windows can be
|
|
resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed versatile,
|
|
regardless of the layout applied.
|
|
.P
|
|
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
|
|
dwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the layout,
|
|
the title of the focused window, and the text read from standard input. If
|
|
the focused window is in versatile state, a small caret is printed before
|
|
its 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 CUSTOMIZATION
|
|
dwm is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source
|
|
code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
|
|
.SH SEE ALSO
|
|
.BR dmenu (1)
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
The status bar may display
|
|
.BR "EOF"
|
|
when dwm has been started by an X session manager like
|
|
.BR xdm (1),
|
|
because those close standard output before executing dwm.
|
|
.P
|
|
Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw grey windows
|
|
only. 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. As a workaround
|
|
you can use JDK 1.4 (which doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or you
|
|
can set the following environment variable (to use the older Motif
|
|
backend instead):
|
|
.BR AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit .
