# 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):

```bash

make clean install

```

## Running dwm

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

```bash

exec dwm

```

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

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

```bash

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`:

```bash

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.
