dwm - dynamic window manager ============================ dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X. This is my personal build of dwm, with my own keybindings (I don't use a seperate key handler like sxhkd anymore) and various patches applied. The patches are all listed in the `patches` folder of this repository. Most of them are directly from suckless's website, but some smaller ones I've added as well to make porting easier. Previously [I used to fork my build from Luke's build](https://github.com/AlexBocken/dwm_old) of dwm. Many of my keybinds have their origin from that build. This build has the [nord theme](https://www.nordtheme.com/) colors integrated (I prefer not using the xrdb patch) Patches ----------- - urgend border - actual fullscreen - barpadding - bottomstack layout - centered master layout - deck layout - fibonacci layout - hide vacant tags layout - info section of bar always uses normal scheme (personal) - movestack - status bar on all monitors (personal) - sticky - warp mouse to center of focussed window - scratchpads - zoom swap - don't create empty space if master windows are smaller than alloted space (personal) -> This is multiple patches, depending on the layout (fibonacci, tile & deck are seperately listed in patches folder) 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.
