dwm - dynamic window manager
----------------------------
dwm is an extremly fast, small, and dynamic X11 window manager.


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.


Displaying status info
----------------------
In order to display status info in the bar, you can do following
in .xinitrc:

$HOME/.dwm/status | dwm

Assumed $HOME/.dwm/status is an executable script like:

#!/bin/sh
while true
do
echo `date` `uptime | sed 's/.*://; s/,//g'`
sleep 5
done


Configuration
-------------
The configuration of dwm is done by customizing source code,
grep for CUSTOMIZE keyword.
