Garbe, author of <a href='http://www.suckless.org/wiki/wmii'>wmii</a>.<br/><br/>Home page at <a href='http://dwm.suckless.org/'>http://dwm.suckless.org/</a>.<br/><br/>(See also <a href='http://gotmor.googlepages.com/dzen'>dzen</a> and <a href='http://gotmor.googlepages.com/'>dzen author's page</a>).<br/><br/>To configure it, you edit dwm/config.h and recompile! We don't need no steenking config files.<br/><br/>An essential change from my point of view (emacs user) is to change Mod1Mask to Mod4Mask to use the Window key instead of the Alt key as the Modifier key.<br/><br/>I then recompile (very clean compile by the way), restart and presto! My dwm now uses the Window key as the Mod key.<br/><br/>I like its minimalist aesthetic and economy - 2135 lines of code (as reported by wc -l *.c *.h).<br/><br/>It should be ideal as an example to study how window managers work.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5392347059942297508-8316132641885950993?l=the-monkeymind.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>seanonoreply@blogger.com0
