dwm - dynamic window manager

============================

dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.

Forked by Branislav Blaskovic

-----------------------------

I patched the vanilla DWM and configured it on my own.

More info on [my personal web page](http://blaskovic.sk/).

This fork is tested on Fedora LXDE spin.

dwm-panel by Branislav Blaskovic

--------------------------------

dwm-panel is a daemon which provides titlebar in dwm. 

Use `/usr/bin/dwm-panel` to print available commands.

dwm-menu by Branislav Blaskovic

-------------------------------

In order to get dwm-menu working properly, you need to add your user into sudoers and set this:

    yourusername ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend

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

If you are going to use the default bluegray color scheme it is highly

recommended to also install the bluegray files shipped in the dextra package.

Configuration

-------------

The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h

and (re)compiling the source code.

Running dwm (deprecated in this forked version)

---------------------------------------------

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
