      1 # My dwm fork (dynamic window manager)
      2 dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.

      5 #### Requirements
      6 In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
      7 
      8 #### Installation
      9 Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
     10 the /usr/local namespace by default).
     11 
     12 Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
     13 necessary as root):
     14 
     15     make clean install
     16 
     17 #### Running dwm
     18 Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
     19 
     20     exec dwm
     21 
     22 In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
     23 the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
     24 
     25     DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
     26 
     27 (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
     28 
     29 In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
     30 like this in your .xinitrc:
     31 
     32     while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
     33     do
     34     	sleep 1
     35     done &
     36     exec dwm
     37 
     38 
     39 #### Configuration
     40 The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
     41 and (re)compiling the source code.
