<h3>dynamic window manager</h3>
</center>
<h3>Description</h3>
<p>
dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11.
</p>
<h3>Philosophy</h3>
<p>
As founder and main developer of wmii I came to the conclusion that
wmii is too clunky for my needs. I don't need so many funky features
and all this hype about remote control through a 9P service, I only
want to manage my windows in a simple, but dynamic way. wmii never got
finished because I listened to users, who proposed arbitrary ideas I
considered useful. This resulted in an extreme <a href="http://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html">CADT</a>
development model, which was a mistake. Thus the philosophy of
dwm is simply <i>to fit my needs</i> (maybe yours as well). That's it.
</p>
<h3>Differences to wmii</h3
<p>
In contrast to wmii, dwm is only a window manager, and nothing else.
Hence, it is much smaller, faster and simpler.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
dwm has no 9P support, no menu, no editable tagbars,
no shell-based configuration and remote control and comes without
any additional tools like printing the selection or warping the
mouse.
</li>
<li>
dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never
exceed 2000 SLOC.
</li>
<li>
dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it
extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which
hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names.
</li>
<li>
dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however simpler
than wmii or larswm).
</li>
<li>
dwm don't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or
managed layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are
managed or not, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. Popup-
and fixed-size windows are treated unmanaged.
</li>
<li>
dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real
estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of unfocused
clients.
</li>
<li>
dwm reads from <b>stdin</b> to print arbitrary status text (like the
date, load, battery charge). That's much simpler than larsremote,
wmiir and what not...
</li>
<li>
Anselm <b>does not</b> want any feedback to dwm. If you ask for support,
feature requests, or if you report bugs, they will be <b>ignored</b>
with a high chance. dwm is only intended to fit Anselms needs.
