dwm
Arch Wiki
dwm is a dynamic window manager for Xorg. It manages windows in tiled, stacked, and full-screen layouts, as well as many others with the help of optional patches. Layouts can be applied dynamically, optimizing the environment for the application in use and the task being performed. dwm is extremely lightweight and fast, written in C and with a stated design goal of remaining under 2000 source lines of code. dwm can be used with compositor (picom)
Configuration
dwm is configured at compile-time by editing some of its source files, specifically config.h. For detailed information on these settings see the included, well-commented config.def.h as well as the customisation section on the dwm website.
The official website has a number of patches that can add extra functionality to dwm. These patches primarily make changes to the dwm.c file but also make changes to the config.h file where appropriate.
