It manages windows in tiled and +floating layouts. Either layout can be applied dynamically, optimizing +the environment for the application in use and the task performed. It +is the little brother of wmii. + +In tiled layout, windows are managed in a master and stacking area. +The master area contains the windows which currently need most +attention, whereas the stacking area contains all other windows. In +floating layout, windows can be resized and moved freely. Dialog +windows are always managed floating, regardless of the layout +selected. + +Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or +multiple tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with those +tags. + +dwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the +layout, the title of the focused window, and the text read from the +name of the root window. The selected tags are highlighted with a +different color, while the tags of the focused window are highlighted +with a small point. + +dwm draws a small border around windows to indicate their focus state. + |
