DAWM is a tiling window manager written in C, that is partially based on dwm.

The long-term goals of DAWM are:

• To have as few dependencies as possible (Should be compilable with only POSIX libraries and Xlib)
• EWMH (NetWM) compliance
• (Optional) Xinerama support
• (Optional) Xft support

DAWM requires Xlib development headers.

The software can be installed with the following command:

cd src/ && make install

The documentation can be built with the following command:

cd doc/ && make

DAWM's configuration file is $HOME/.config/dawm/config.

An example configuration file can be found in data/config.

DAWM can be made to autorun programs by executing the file $HOME/.config/dawm/autorun. This file can be a shell script. The file must have the executable flag set.

The file can be created with the following command:

echo "#! /bin/sh" > ~/.config/dawm/autorun && chmod +x ~/.config/dawm/autorun
