<h1>dwm - dynamic window manager</h1>
<p>-> dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.</p>

<h2>Requirements</h2>
<p>-> In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.</p>

<h2>Installation</h2>
<p>
    -> Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).
    <br>
    -> Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if necessary as root):
</p>
<pre style="text-align: center; color: gray; font-size: large;"> <code>make clean install</code> </pre>

<h2>Running dwm</h2>
<p>-> Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:</p>

<pre style="text-align:center; color:gray; font-size:large"> <code>exec dwm</code> </pre>

<p>-> In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:</p>

<pre style="text-align:center; color:gray; font-size:large"> <code>DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm</code> </pre>

<p>-> (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)</p>

<pre style="text-align:center; color:gray; font-size:large"> <code>while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
do
    sleep 1
done &
exec dwm</code> </pre>

<h2>Configuration</h2>
<p>-> The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code.</p>
