mwm - Maria's Window Manager

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

mwm is a fork of [dwm](https://dwm.suckless.org/) an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X written in C.

Requirements

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

In order to build mwm you need the Xlib header files.

Installation

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

Edit config.mk to match your local setup (mwm is installed into

the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install mwm (if

necessary as root):

```

make clean install

```

Running mwm

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

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

```

exec mwm

```

In order to connect mwm to a specific display, make sure that

the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:

```

DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec mwm

```

(This will start mwm 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 mwm

```

Or you can use something better like [slstatus](https://tools.suckless.org/slstatus/) which is written in C.

```

    slstatus&

    exec mwm

```

Configuration

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

The configuration of mwm is done by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code.
