dwm

historique

Historique du projet et usages

dwm is the suckless dynamic window manager for X. The official page describes tiled, monocle, and floating layouts, tag-based window grouping, a small status bar, and a design that is intentionally smaller, faster, and simpler than predecessors such as ion, larswm, and wmii.

Historique du projet

The official git refs show dwm 0.1 tagged on 2006-07-14 by Anselm R. Garbe, followed by rapid 0.x and 1.x releases in 2006. By the 4.x and 5.x series it had settled into the small-C-source, edit-and-rebuild configuration style that became central to the suckless identity.

The official customisation page explains the distinctive model: dwm is configured by editing config.h, a C header included by dwm.c, and config.mk for build/install settings. The main page argues that source-code configuration is fast and secure because dwm does not process unknown runtime configuration input apart from window titles and status text.

Historique d'adoption

dwm's own site says binary packages are somewhat beside the point because users are expected to customize source, while also acknowledging that some distributions provide packages. The batch input lists apk, Homebrew, Debian, Nix, and Ubuntu, showing the tension that makes dwm famous in packaging culture: it is widely packaged even though upstream thinks the most authentic install is local source customization.

Modes d'utilisation

Users run dwm as an X window manager, arrange clients dynamically across tiled, monocle, and floating layouts, tag windows instead of placing them into conventional workspaces, and feed status text through the root window name. Customization usually means editing config.h, applying patches from the official patch collection, rebuilding, and carrying the local diff forward.

Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

dwm is one of the canonical minimalist Unix desktop packages. It is tiny, patch-oriented, hostile to sprawling configuration layers, and influential far beyond its source size. For package nerds it is a touchstone in debates about source-as-config, downstream patch stacks, reproducible personal builds, and how far a package manager should go when upstream expects users to edit C.

Chronologie

2006: dwm 0.1 tagged in the official git repository.
2007: 4.x releases continue rapid development of the early design.
2011: dwm 6.0 tagged.
2019: dwm 6.2 tagged after a slower mature-release cadence.
2026: dwm 6.8 released on 2026-01-30; official refs show master activity in March 2026.

Related projects

The official page places dwm against ion, larswm, and wmii, points users to dmenu, and lists related or influenced projects including awesome, dvtm, dwl, i3, qtile, scrotwm, xmonad, and several dwm forks or ports.

Précautions	In order to use the Mac OS X command key for dwm commands, change the X11 keyboard modifier map using xmodmap (1). e.g. by running the following command from $HOME/.xinitrc xmodmap -e 'remove Mod2 = Meta_L' -e 'add Mod1 = Meta_L'& See also https://gist.github.com/311377 for a handful of tips and tricks for running dwm on Mac OS X.
