Swy7ch' fork of dwm

This is my fork of suckless' dynamic window manager, dwm. It is tweaked to match my needs and come with just a few patches:

That's it!

No need for anything else. I also changed the colors and the keybindings, along with setting particular tabs for particular apps. Enjoy!

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

In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.

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

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

The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code.
