# dwm - dynamic window manager
dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
I have added the following patches:
* [fakefullscreen](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/fakefullscreen/)
* [systray](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/systray/)
* [singular borders](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/singularborders/)
* [movestack](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/movestack/)
## 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.
