.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.B dwm
|
|
|
|
|
is a dynamic window manager for X11. It manages windows in tiling and floating
|
|
|
|
|
modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, optimizing the environment for
|
|
|
|
|
the application in use and the task performed.
|
|
|
|
|
.P
|
|
|
|
|
In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking column. The master
|
|
|
|
|
column contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the
|
|
|
|
|
stacking column contains all other windows. In floating mode windows can be
|
|
|
|
|
resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating,
|
|
|
|
|
regardless of the mode selected.
|
|
|
|
|
.P
|
|
|
|
|
Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
|
|
|
|
|
tags. Selecting a certain tag for viewing will display all windows with that
|
|
|
|
|
tag.
|
|
|

has a small status bar which displays the text read from standard
|
|
|
|
|
input, if written. Besides that, it displays all available tags, and the title
|
|
|
|
|
of the focused window. It draws a 1-pixel border around windows to
|
|
|
|
|
indicate the focus state. Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of
|
|
|
|
|
them displaying their tags and title.
