      6 dwm - dynamic window manager
      7 ============================
      8 dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
      9 
     10 
     11 Requirements
     12 ------------
     13 In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
     14 
     15 
     16 Installation
     17 ------------
     18 Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
     19 the /usr/local namespace by default).
     20 
     21 Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
     22 necessary as root):
     23 
     24     make clean install
     25 
     26 
     27 Running dwm
     28 -----------
     29 Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
     30 
     31     exec dwm
     32 
     33 In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
     34 the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
     35 
     36     DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
     37 
     38 (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
     39 
     40 In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
     41 like this in your .xinitrc:
     42 
     43     while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
     44     do
     45     	sleep 1
     46     done &
     47     exec dwm
     48 
     49 
     50 Configuration
     51 -------------
     52 The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
     53 and (re)compiling the source code.
