NAME
dwm - dynamic window manager
SYNOPSIS
dwm [-v]
DESCRIPTION
dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiled,
monocle and floating layouts. Either layout can be applied dynamically,
optimising the environment for the application in use and the task per-
formed.
dwmはX用のダイナミックなウインドウマネージャです。ウインドウをタイル方式、
片メガネ方式、フロート方式の3つの方法を使って管理します。それぞれの
レイアウトはダイナミックで、そして各アプリケーションにあわせて環境を
最適化します。
In tiled layouts windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The
master area contains the window which currently needs most attention,
whereas the stacking area contains all other windows. In monocle layout
all windows are maximised to the screen size. In floating layout win-
dows can be resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed
floating, regardless of the layout applied.
タイル方式は、メインのウインドウをマスターに置き、残りの他のウインドウ
をスタック領域に並べます。
片メガネ方式は、ウインドウを最大化して表示します。
フロート方式ではウインドウを自由に動かしたり、ウインドウの大きさを自由に
変える事ができます。
ダイアログボックスはどの方式を使っているかにかかわらずフロート方式に
なります。
Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or mul-
tiple tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these
tags.
ウインドウはタグでグループ化されます。それぞれのウインドは一つかそれ以上
のタグを付ける事ができます。ひとたびタグが選ばれたら、そのタグを設定して
あるウインドウが画面に並ぶ事になります。
dwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the
layout, the title of the focused window, and the text read from stan-
dard input. A floating window is indicated with an empty square and a
maximised floating window is indicated with a filled square before the
windows title. The selected tags are indicated with a different color.
The tags of the focused window are indicated with a filled square in
the top left corner. The tags which are applied to one or more windows
are indicated with an empty square in the top left corner.
dwm draws a small border around windows to indicate the focus state.
OPTIONS
-v prints version information to standard output, then exits.

CUSTOMIZATION
dwm is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the
source code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.

BUGS
The status bar may display EOF when dwm has been started by an X ses-
sion manager like xdm(1), because those close standard output before
executing dwm.
Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw grey
windows only. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in
recent JDK 1.5 and early JDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a repar-
enting window manager. As a workaround you can use JDK 1.4 (which
doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or you can set the following
environment variable (to use the older Motif backend instead):
AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit.
GTK 2.10.9+ versions contain a broken Save-As file dialog implementa-
tion, which requests to reconfigure its window size in an endless loop.
However, its window is still respondable during this state, so you can
simply ignore the flicker until a new GTK version appears, which will
fix this bug, approximately GTK 2.10.12+ versions.
