## 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.
