This is my patchset for the dynamic window manager (http://dwm.suckless.org). Get the most current version from http://www.cgarbs.de/dwm-mitch.en.html I was a big fan of wmii-2. I liked the dynamic workspaces, but I did not like the tags-approach of wmii-3. Then I came upon dwm, which had all the core functionality of wmii - unluckily of wmii-3 and not of wmii-2. But because dwm is easy to extend, I was able to make dwm behave like my beloved wmii-2. The included file "dwm-mitch" is a start script that initializes a dmenu-cache, starts a loop for the status line (showing current time and system load) and runs dwm. If it finds an executable file in "$HOME/.dwm-status", it will be run for status line updates instead. To update the status line, change the title of the X root window, e.g. call "xsetroot -name $content" regularly. See "dwm-mitch" for an example. The environment variable DMENU_COLORS is used for changing the colors of dmenu on the dwm-choose script. Set it like this: DMENU_COLORS="-fn fixed -nb #336 -nf #ccc -sb #669 -sf #eee" dmenu uses "$HOME/.dmenu-history" to save its history. dmenu uses "$HOME/.dmenu-cache" to cache the list of executables. The list is regenerated with every new dwm session. If you want it to be updated sooner, just delete the cache file. The next dmenu call will regenerate it. Your personal configuration changes should be kept in a separate branch in your personal dwm-mitch git repository. Use "make" or "make install" to install everything. Use "make uninstall" to remove installed files. Installation propably needs root privileges. A running dwm can be restarted by "kill -s USR1 $pid_of_dwm". Use this if you have changed some configuration and did a "make install" to see your changes without having to restart your X session.
