dwm-exkc - dynamic window manager
dwm-exkc is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
Requirements
In order to build dwm-exkc you need the Xlib header files.
Installation
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm-exkc is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm-exkc (if necessary as root):
make clean install
Running dwm-exkc
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm-exkc using startx:
exec dwm-exkc
In order to connect dwm-exkc to a specific display, make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm-exkc
(This will start dwm-exkc on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something like this in your .xinitrc:
while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
do
sleep 1
done &
exec dwm-exkc
Configuration
The configuration of dwm-exkc is done by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code.
