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)
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
- urgend border

|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|

|
- 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.
