dwm - dynamic window manager
============================
dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.


TLDR
----
sudo make clean install
add `slstatus &` into:
~/.xinitrc for startx, ~/.xprofile for others
for xinit, remember to add `exec dwm` at the end


Requirements
------------
In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.


Font - fontawesome
------------------
Necessary fonts have been included. Run as root:
cp fa6* /usr/share/fonts && fc-cache -f


Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
necessary as root):

    make clean install


Running dwm
-----------
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:

    exec dwm

In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:

    DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm

(This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
