- .SH NAME
- dwm \- dynamic window manager
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .B dwm
- .RB [ \-v ]
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .B dwm
- is a dynamic window manager for X11. It manages windows in tiling and floating
- modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, optimizing the environment for
- the application in use and the task performed.
- .P
- In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking column. The master
- column contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the
- stacking column contains all other windows. In floating mode windows can be
- resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating,
- regardless of the mode selected.
- .P
- Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
- tags. Selecting a certain tag for viewing will display all windows with that
- tag.
- .P
- .B dwm
- has a small status bar which displays the text read from standard
- input, if written. Besides that, it displays all available tags, and the title
- of the focused window. It draws a 1-pixel border around windows to
- indicate the focus state. Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of
- them displaying their tags and title.
