  5. dwm - dynamic window manager
  6. ============================
  7. dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
  8. Requirements
  9. ------------
  10. In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
  11. Installation
  12. ------------
  13. Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
  14. the /usr/local namespace by default).
  15. Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
  16. necessary as root):
  17. make clean install
  18. Running dwm
  19. -----------
  20. Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
  21. exec dwm
  22. In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
  23. the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
  24. DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
  25. (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
  26. In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
  27. like this in your .xinitrc:
  28. while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
  29. do
  30. sleep 1
  31. done &
  32. exec dwm
  33. Configuration
  34. -------------
  35. The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
  36. and (re)compiling the source code.
