|
| 21 | - | <h3>Description</h3> |
|
| 22 | - | <p> |
|
| 23 | - | dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11. |
|
| 24 | - | </p> |
|
| 25 | - | <h4>Background</h4> |
|
| 26 | - | <p> |
|
| 27 | - | As founder and main developer of wmii I came to the conclusion that |
|
| 28 | - | wmii is too clunky for my needs. I don't need so many funky features |
|
| 29 | - | and all this hype about remote control through a 9P service, I only |
|
| 30 | - | want to manage my windows in a simple, but dynamic way. wmii never got |
|
| 31 | - | finished because I listened to users, who proposed arbitrary ideas I |
|
| 32 | - | considered useful. This resulted in an extreme <a |
|
| 33 | - | href="http://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html">CADT</a> development model, |
|
| 34 | - | which was a mistake. Thus the philosophy of dwm is simply <i>to fit my |
|
| 35 | - | needs</i> (maybe yours as well). That's it. |
|
| 36 | - | </p> |
|
| 37 | - | <h4>Differences to ion, larswm, and wmii</h4> |
|
| 38 | - | <p> |
|
| 39 | - | In contrast to ion, larswm, and wmii, dwm is much smaller, faster and simpler. |
|
| 40 | - | </p> |
|
| 41 | - | <ul> |
|
| 42 | - | <li> |
|
| 43 | - | dwm has no Lua integration, no 9P support, no editable |
|
| 44 | - | tagbars, no shell-based configuration, no remote control, and comes |
|
| 45 | - | without any additional tools like printing the selection or warping |
|
| 46 | - | the mouse. |
|
| 47 | - | </li> |
|
| 48 | - | <li> |
|
| 49 | - | dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never |
|
| 50 | - | exceed 2000 SLOC. |
|
| 51 | - | </li> |
|
| 52 | - | <li> |
|
| 53 | - | dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however |
|
| 54 | - | simpler than ion, wmii or larswm). It manages windows in |
|
| 55 | - | tiling and floating modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, |
|
| 56 | - | depending on the application in use and the task performed. |
|
| 57 | - | </li> |
|
| 58 | - | <li> |
|
| 59 | - | dwm doesn't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or |
|
| 60 | - | tiled layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are in |
|
| 61 | - | tiled mode or not, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. |
|
| 62 | - | Popup- and fixed-size windows are treated floating, however. |
|
| 63 | - | </li> |
|
| 64 | - | <li> |
|
| 65 | - | dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it |
|
| 66 | - | extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data |
|
| 67 | - | which hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names |
|
| 68 | - | and status text read from standard input. You don't have to learn |
|
| 69 | - | Lua/sh/ruby or some weird configuration file format (like X |
|
| 70 | - | resource files), beside C to customize it for your needs, |
|
| 71 | - | you <b>only</b> have to learn C (at least editing header files). |
|
| 72 | - | </li> |
|
| 73 | - | <li> |
|
| 74 | - | Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it's |
|
| 75 | - | pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase |
|
| 76 | - | small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions. |
|
| 77 | - | </li> |
|
| 78 | - | <li> |
|
| 79 | - | dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real |
|
| 80 | - | estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of |
|
| 81 | - | unfocused clients. |
|
| 82 | - | </li> |
|
| 83 | - | <li> |
|
| 84 | - | dwm reads from standard input to print arbitrary status text (like |
|
| 85 | - | the date, load, battery charge). That's much simpler than |
|
| 86 | - | larsremote, wmiir and what not... |
|
| 87 | - | </li> |
|
| 88 | - | <li> |
|
| 89 | - | It can be downloaded and distributed under the conditions |
|
| 90 | - | of the <a href="http://10kloc.org/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm?f=f10eb1139362;file=LICENSE;style=raw">MIT/X Consortium license</a>. |
|
| 91 | - | </li> |
|
| 92 | - | <li> |
|
| 93 | - | Optionally you can install <b>dmenu</b> to extend dwm with a wmii-alike menu. |
