# dwm - dynamic window manager

A fork of [dwm][1], a extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.

![dwm](./dwm.png)

## Requirements

In order to build dwm the Xlib header files are required.

## 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):

```sh

make clean install

```

## Running dwm

Add the following line to your **.xinitrc** to start dwm using startx:

```sh

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:

```sh

while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"

do

    sleep 1

done &

exec dwm

```

## Configuration

The configuration of dwm is done by creating/editing the **config.h** and (re)compiling the source code.
