I don't need so many funky features - and all this hype about remote control through a 9P service, I only - want to manage my windows in a simple, but dynamic way. wmii never got - finished because I listened to users, who proposed arbitrary ideas I - considered useful. This resulted in an extreme <a - href="http://www.jwz.org/doc/cadt.html">CADT</a> development model, - which was a mistake. Thus the philosophy of dwm is simply <i>to fit my - needs</i> (maybe yours as well). That's it. - </p> - <h4>Differences to ion, larswm, and wmii</h4> - <p> - In contrast to ion, larswm, and wmii, dwm is much smaller, faster and simpler. - </p> - <ul> - <li> - dwm has no Lua integration, no 9P support, no editable - tagbars, no shell-based configuration, no remote control, and comes - without any additional tools like printing the selection or warping - the mouse. - </li> - <li> - dwm is only a single binary, it's source code is intended to never - exceed 2000 SLOC. - </li> - <li> - dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however - simpler than ion, wmii or larswm). It manages windows in - tiling and floating modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, - depending on the application in use and the task performed. - </li> - <li> - dwm doesn't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or - tiled layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are in - tiled mode or not, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. - Popup- and fixed-size windows are treated floating, however. - </li> - <li> - dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it - extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data - which hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names - and status text read from standard input. You don't have to learn - Lua/sh/ruby or some weird configuration file format (like X - resource files), beside C to customize it for your needs, - you <b>only</b> have to learn C (at least editing header files). - </li> - <li> - Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it's - pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase - small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions. - </li> - <li> - dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real - estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of - unfocused clients. - </li> - <li> - dwm reads from standard input to print arbitrary status text (like - the date, load, battery charge). That's much simpler than - larsremote, wmiir and what not... - </li> - <li> - It can be downloaded and distributed under the conditions - of the <a href="http://10kloc.org/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm?f=f10eb1139362;file=LICENSE;style=raw">MIT/X Consortium license</a>. - </li> - <li> - Optionally you can install <b>dmenu</b> to extend dwm with a wmii-alike menu. - </li> - </ul> - <h4>Links</h4> - <ul> - <li><a href="http://10kloc.org/cgi-bin/man/man2html?query=dwm">Man page</a></li> - <li><a href="http://10kloc.org/shots/dwm-20060810a.png">Screenshot of tiled mode</a> (20060810)</li> - <li><a href="http://10kloc.org/shots/dwm-20060810b.png">Screenshotof floating mode</a> (20060810)</li> - <li><a href="http://10kloc.org/download/poster.ps">A4 poster (PostScript)</a></li> - <li>Mailing List: <a href="http://10kloc.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dwm">dwm at wmii dot de</a> <a href="http://10kloc.org/pipermail/dwm/">(Archives)</a> <a href="http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.window-managers.dwm">(GMANE Archive)</a></li> - <li>IRC channel: <code>#dwm</code> at <code>irc.oftc.net</code></li> - </ul> - <h3>Download</h3> - <ul> - <li><a href="http://10kloc.org/download/dwm-1.2.tar.gz">dwm 1.2</a> (15kb) (20060830)</li> - <li><a href="http://10kloc.org/download/dmenu-0.6.tar.gz">dmenu 0.6</a> (7kb) (20060828)</li> - </ul> - <h3>Development</h3> - <p> - dwm is actively developed in parallel to wmii.
