1.TH DWM 1 dwm\-VERSION 2.SH NAME 3dwm \- dynamic window manager 4.SH SYNOPSIS 5.B dwm 6.RB [ \-v ] 7.SH DESCRIPTION 8dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiled, monocle 9and floating layouts. Either layout can be applied dynamically, optimising the 10environment for the application in use and the task performed. 11.P 12In tiled layouts windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master 13area on the left contains one window by default, and the stacking area on the 14right contains all other windows. The number of master area windows can be 15adjusted from zero to an arbitrary number. In monocle layout all windows are 16maximised to the screen size. In floating layout windows can be resized and 17moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating, regardless of the 18layout applied. 19.P 20Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple 21tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags. 22.P 23Each screen contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the 24layout, the title of the focused window, and the text read from the root window 25name property, if the screen is focused. A floating window is indicated with an 26empty square and a maximised floating window is indicated with a filled square 27before the windows title. The selected tags are indicated with a different 28color. The tags of the focused window are indicated with a filled square in the 29top left corner. The tags which are applied to one or more windows are 30indicated with an empty square in the top left corner. 31.P 32dwm draws a small border around windows to indicate the focus state. 33.SH OPTIONS 34.TP 35.B \-v 36prints version information to stderr, then exits. 37.SH USAGE 38.SS Status bar 39.TP 40.B X root window name 41is read and displayed in the status text area.

This keeps it fast, secure and simple.158.SH SEE ALSO159.BR dmenu (1),160.BR st (1)161.SH ISSUES162Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw grey windows163only. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in recent JDK 1.5 and early164JDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a reparenting window manager. Possible workarounds165are using JDK 1.4 (which doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or setting the166environment variable167.BR AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit168(to use the older Motif backend instead) or running169.B xprop -root -f _NET_WM_NAME 32a -set _NET_WM_NAME LG3D170or171.B wmname LG3D172(to pretend that a non-reparenting window manager is running that the173XToolkit/XAWT backend can recognize) or when using OpenJDK setting the environment variable174.BR _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 .175.SH BUGS176Send all bug reports with a patch to hackers@suckless.org.
