  20. <h3>Description</h3>
  21. <p>
  22. dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11.
  23. </p>
  24. <h3>Philosophy</h3>
  25. <p>
  26. As founder and main developer of wmii I came to the conclusion that
  27. wmii is too clunky for my needs. I don't need so many funky features
  28. and all this hype about remote control through a 9P service, I only
  29. want to manage my windows in a simple, but dynamic way. wmii never got
  30. finished because I listened to users, who proposed arbitrary ideas I
  31. considered useful. This resulted in an extreme <a href="http://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html">CADT</a>
  32. development model, which was a mistake. Thus the philosophy of
  33. dwm is simply <i>to fit my needs</i> (maybe yours as well). That's it.
  34. </p>
  35. <h3>Differences to wmii</h3
  36. <p>
  37. In contrast to wmii, dwm is only a window manager, and nothing else.
  38. Hence, it is much smaller, faster and simpler.
  39. </p>
  40. <ul>
  41. <li>
  42. dwm has no 9P support, no editable tagbars, no shell-based
  43. configuration and remote control and comes without any additional
  44. tools like printing the selection or warping the mouse.
  45. </li>
  46. <li>
  47. dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never
  48. exceed 2000 SLOC.
  49. </li>
  50. <li>
  51. dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it
  52. extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which
  53. hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names.
  54. </li>
  55. <li>
  56. dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however simpler
  57. than wmii or larswm).
  58. </li>
  59. <li>
  60. dwm don't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or
  61. managed layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are
  62. managed or not, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. Popup-
  63. and fixed-size windows are treated unmanaged.
  64. </li>
  65. <li>
  66. dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real
  67. estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of unfocused
  68. clients.
  69. </li>
  70. <li>
  71. dwm reads from <b>stdin</b> to print arbitrary status text (like the
  72. date, load, battery charge). That's much simpler than larsremote,
  73. wmiir and what not...
  74. </li>
  75. <li>
  76. Anselm <b>does not</b> want any feedback to dwm. If you ask for support,
  77. feature requests, or if you report bugs, they will be <b>ignored</b>
  78. with a high chance. dwm is only intended to fit Anselms needs.
  79. However you are free to download and distribute/relicense it, with the
  80. conditions of the <a href="http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm?f=f10eb1139362;file=LICENSE;style=raw">MIT/X Consortium license</a>.

  87. <h3>Development</h3>
  88. <p>
  89. dwm is actively developed in parallel to wmii. You can <a href="http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm">browse</a> its source code repository or get a copy using <a href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/">Mercurial</a> with following command:
  90. </p>
  91. <p>
  92. <code>hg clone http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm</code>
