This repository and its my-dwm branch contains a customized version of the
dynamic window manager with the following patches
and some personal modifications to the configuration.
All the great work is done by the dwm and patch contributors!
- noborder: removes the border if only one window is visible
- push,
no_master-version: allows to move the client windows inside the client list. - systray: shows a system tray on the first monitor; also works fine with multiple monitors
$ nix-shell -p xorg.{libX11,libXinerama,libXft,xinit} --run ./test.sh
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 xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
do
sleep 1
done &
exec dwm
Configuration
-------------
The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
and (re)compiling the source code.
