-- dwm is customized through editing its source code, that makes it - extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which - hasn't been known at compile time, except window title names. -
-- dwm is based on tagging and dynamic window management (however simpler - than wmii or larswm). -
-- dwm don't distinguishes between layers, there is no floating or managed - layer. Wether the clients of currently selected tag are managed or not - managed, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. Popup- and - fixed-size windows are treated unmanaged. -
-- dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real - estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of unfocused - clients. -
-- garbeam don't wants any feedback to dwm. If you ask for support, - feature requests or if you report bugs, they will be ignored - with a high chance. dwm is only intended to fit garbeam's needs, - however you are free to download and distribute/relicense it, with the - conditions of the MIT/X Consortium license. -
-dwm is actively developed in parallel to wmii. You can browse its source code repository or get a copy using Mercurial with following command:
- hg clone http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm
