This git repository contains my personal branch of dwm-6.4.
The changes made to stock dwm add the following abilities.
- Draw per-client indicators in the tag section of the status bar.
- Prompt the user before exiting/restarting dwm.
- Assign text names to tags at runtime.
- Layout menu popup presents available layouts.
- Select multiple tags for simultaneous display or window assignment.
- Deselect ALL tags, displaying an empty desktop.
- Center window names in status bar.
- Customized rules/keybindings in `config.h`.
In addition to the usual dependencies and installation tasks for dwm (see the
original README at the bottom of this file), there are the following new
dependencies/tasks.
- xmenu from . This requires freetype2
and imlib2, available in FreeBSD's ports collection under `print/freetype2`
and `graphics/imlib2`. This is required for the layout menu popup.
- Customize (if needed) and install `layoutmenu.sh` somewhere in your `$PATH`.
Remember to make it executable.

dwm - dynamic window manager
============================
dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
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.
