dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiled and
|
|
floating layouts. Either layout can be applied dynamically, optimizing
|
|
the environment for the application in use and the task performed. It
|
|
is the little brother of wmii.
|
|
|
|
In tiled layout, windows are managed in a master and stacking area.
|
|
The master area contains the windows which currently need most
|
|
attention, whereas the stacking area contains all other windows. In
|
|
floating layout, windows can be resized and moved freely. Dialog
|
|
windows are always managed floating, regardless of the layout
|
|
selected.
|
|
|
|
Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or
|
|
multiple tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with those
|
|
tags.
|
|
|
|
dwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the
|
|
layout, the title of the focused window, and the text read from the
|
|
name of the root window. The selected tags are highlighted with a
|
|
different color, while the tags of the focused window are highlighted
|
|
with a small point.
|
|
|
|
dwm draws a small border around windows to indicate their focus state.
