     1.4 +dwm - dynamic window manager
     1.5 +============================
     1.6 +dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
     1.7 +
     1.8 +
     1.9 +Requirements
    1.10 +------------
    1.11 +In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
    1.12 +
    1.13 +
    1.14 +Installation
    1.15 +------------
    1.16 +Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
    1.17 +the /usr/local namespace by default).
    1.18 +
    1.19 +Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
    1.20 +necessary as root):
    1.21 +
    1.22 +    make clean install
    1.23 +
    1.24 +
    1.25 +Running dwm
    1.26 +-----------
    1.27 +Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
    1.28 +
    1.29 +    exec dwm
    1.30 +
    1.31 +In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
    1.32 +the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
    1.33 +
    1.34 +    DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
    1.35 +
    1.36 +(This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
    1.37 +
    1.38 +In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
    1.39 +like this in your .xinitrc:
    1.40 +
    1.41 +    while true
    1.42 +    do
    1.43 +        echo `date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`
    1.44 +        sleep 1
    1.45 +    done | dwm
    1.46 +
    1.47 +
    1.48 +Configuration
    1.49 +-------------
    1.50 +The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
    1.51 +and (re)compiling the source code.
