1 dwm - dynamic window manager | |
2 ============================ | |
3 dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X. | |
4 | |
5 | |
6 Requirements | |
7 ------------ | |
8 In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files. | |
9 | |
10 | |
11 Installation | |
12 ------------ | |
13 Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into | |
14 the /usr/local namespace by default). | |
15 | |
16 Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if | |
17 necessary as root): | |
18 | |
19 make clean install | |
20 | |
21 | |
22 Running dwm | |
23 ----------- | |
24 Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx: | |
25 | |
26 exec dwm | |
27 | |
28 In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that | |
29 the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.: | |
30 | |
31 DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm | |
32 | |
33 (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.) | |
34 | |
35 In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something | |
36 like this in your .xinitrc: | |
37 | |
38 while true | |
39 do | |
40 echo `date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'` | |
41 sleep 1 | |
42 done | dwm | |
43 | |
44 | |
45 Configuration | |
46 ------------- | |
47 The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h | |
48 and (re)compiling the source code. |
