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.
