|
||||
============================
|
||||
dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
|
||||
|
||||
You can find the original project website on: https://dwm.suckless.org
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Requirements
|
||||
------------
|
||||
In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
|
||||
|
||||
I use rofi as my app launcher and kitty as my terminal emulator. So if you want to use this, install both or change these apps on config.h.
|
||||
|
||||
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):
|
||||
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (as root):
|
||||
|
||||
make clean install
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Running dwm
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
|
||||
Add the following line to your ~/.xinitrc to start dwm using startx command:
|
||||
|
||||
exec dwm
|
||||
|
||||
In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
|
||||
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 xsetroot command won't work to change the text on the bar, instead it have two variables on dwm.c: stext and stext2 (top bar and bottom bar). Check out the drawbars() and drawbar() functions to understand more how it works.
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
|
||||
and (re)compiling the source code.
|
||||
|
||||
My preference is to edit dwm.c directely by now, but will make my functions to config.h soon.
