Dynamic, small, fast and simple window manager

dwm is a minimalistic window manager. It manages windows in tiling and floating modes, much like ion, larswm and wmii. dwm however is much smaller, faster and simpler.

It consists of a single binary, configuration is done at compile-time by a single config.h file. dwm reads from standard input to print arbitrary status text such as the date and/or system load.
