dwm

Developer: Anselm R. Garbe
Latest release: 4.6 / October 25, 2007
OS: Unix-like
Genre: Window Manager
License: MIT License
Website: suckless.org/wiki/dwm

dwm is a dynamic window manager for X11. It is externally similar to wmii, but internally much simpler. dwm is written purely in C and, for simplicity, lacks any configuration interface besides editing the source code. This is not as inconvenient as it sounds, however: options meant to be user-configurable are all represented by macros and contained in a single header file. According to the author, it is optimized for high resolution laptop and widescreen displays. Image File history File links Question_book-3. ...

Drawbacks

dwm has some properties that would often be considered drawbacks to users of more traditional window-management systems:

  • No configuration files; display properties can only be changed by editing the source code and recompiling the executable
  • No multiscreen support (Xinerama etc.)
  • Traditional click-to-focus model not supported; rather, it uses a combination of focus-follows-mouse and keyboard focus switch

It should be noted, however, that for many of the users dwm is targeted towards, these perceived deficiencies might be considered advantages (as the lack of such features helps to keep the codebase small and manageable).[citation needed] Four Head Xinerama Xinerama is an extension to the X Window System which allows applications and window managers to use the two (or more) physical displays as one large virtual display. ...
