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