# Sravan's dwm - dynamic window manager
|
|
|
|
[dwm](https://dwm.suckless.org/) is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
|
|
This is Sravan's fork of dwm with patches and custom modifications.
|
|
|
|
## dwm Information
|
|
|
|
### 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.
