NAME


dwm - dynamic window manager

SYNOPSIS


dwm [-v]

DESCRIPTION


dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiled, monocle and floating
layouts. Either layout can be applied dynamically, optimising the environment for the
application in use and the task performed.

In tiled layouts windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master area
contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the stacking area
contains all other windows. In monocle layout all windows are maximised to the screen
size. In floating layout windows can be resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are
always managed floating, regardless of the layout applied.

Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple tags.
Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags.

Each screen contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the layout, the
title of the focused window, and the text read from the root window name property, if the
screen is focused. A floating window is indicated with an empty square and a maximised
floating window is indicated with a filled square before the windows title. The selected
tags are indicated with a different color. The tags of the focused window are indicated
with a filled square in the top left corner. The tags which are applied to one or more
windows are indicated with an empty square in the top left corner.

dwm draws a small border around windows to indicate the focus state.
