      9 dwm - dynamic window manager
     10 ============================
     11 dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
     12 
     13 
     14 Requirements
     15 ------------
     16 In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
     17 
     18 
     19 Installation
     20 ------------
     21 Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
     22 the /usr/local namespace by default).
     23 
     24 Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
     25 necessary as root):
     26 
     27     make clean install
     28 
     29 
     30 Running dwm
     31 -----------
     32 Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
     33 
     34     exec dwm
     35 
     36 In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
     37 the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
     38 
     39     DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
     40 
     41 (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
     42 
     43 In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
     44 like this in your .xinitrc:
     45 
     46     while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
     47     do
     48     	sleep 1
     49     done &
     50     exec dwm
     51 
     52 
     53 Configuration
     54 -------------
     55 The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
     56 and (re)compiling the source code.
