config.arg.h slight change of my color scheme 18 years ago
config.default.h changed shortcuts as described on the mailinglist, added sanity checks for ratios during tile (fallback to wah if clients would get too small), documented that new stuff/shortcuts in dwm(1) 18 years ago

dwm.h I introduced {H,V}RATIO and inc{h,v,}ratio() functions - the default behaves like in dwm-4.3, config.arg.h shows how I prefer the ratio being handled (for the future I plan to change const char *arg into ..., and renaming Client into Win.) 18 years ago

dwm - dynamic window manager
============================
dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.


Requirements
------------
In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.


Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
necessary as root):

make clean install


Running dwm
-----------
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:

exec dwm

In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:

DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm

(This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)

In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
like this in your .xinitrc:

while true
do
echo `date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`
sleep 1
done | dwm


Configuration
-------------
The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
and (re)compiling the source code.
