ybe 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 status bar, 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> garbeam <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 garbeams needs.
