dwm ( D ynamic W indow M anager) is a window manager written in the programming language C for the X Window System . Its development began in mid- 2006 . The initiator is the founder and main developer of WMII , which WMII claims to have become too "bulky" in the course of development.
DWM provides simple window management with dynamically applicable layouts depending on the requirements of the X program to be displayed. The configuration of DWM is only possible by adapting the source text , which has little more than 2000 lines , which DWM is supposed to make particularly fast and safe, and which simplifies the adaptation, since no special languages have to be learned.
In its basic configuration, DWM has three layout modes:
- The tiling layout, in which the windows are automatically tiled.
- The monocle layout in which only the top window is visible and takes up the entire area.
- The floating layout, in which DWM behaves like a conventional window manager, in which the windows are moved, enlarged and reduced with the mouse.
There are numerous patches that can be used to configure DWM.
DWM ports exist for Microsoft Windows and for text-based terminals . In addition, DWM suggested several new implementations and spin-offs in order to continue its own or the philosophical guiding principle contradicting " features ".
