dwm -- dynamic window manager

@djlavish : Wow, is this your realtime work speed? Or was video post processing involved (cutting, speedup)?

I see you're studying the binomial theorem :)

installed it 2 days ago and like it. But i was wondering, how do i switch between bottom stack tiling and normal tiling?

Cool !!!!!

wow it looks nearly identical in functionality to xmonad!

I installed dwm yesterday night. But I have a problem when trying to open a youtube video in full screen.

How to solve this problem?

i like using DWM on a laptop - i find using the trackpad to drag windows around a waste of time. Very easy to have 2 things open that you're viewing side by side.

Nice how the source, being so simple, means you can customize it quite easily to work exactly how you want, e.g. ALT+Cursors to navigate the screen, very intuitive..

What I find interesting with dwm is that it is doing exactly what a window manager is supposed to be do i.e. managing windows. There are a couple of programs that doesnt work very well with dwm because they assume the window manager is not a tiling one but those programs are not worth using anyway. The interface of dwm together with good bash knowledge is an unbeatable duo once you have mastered it.

What was the IRC client? Irssi? SIC? II?

[djlavish]

irssi ;)

And it compiles really really fast ^^

I've been using wmii. Can you tell wat makes DWM better than WMII?

[djlavish]

You won't deal with uriel :P

[CCuleX]

Simple. You don't have to use weird WMIIR commands for simplest task. Just change something in the source, recompile it, and WHOO!

Wmii is scriptable without recompilation. I've been using wmii for two weeks now (shameful), and I got it to do everything I want. I have an open mind, but what really makes dwm it better?

[1804G]

I tried it out, and it did not meet my expectations. Wmii lets me snap to corners of windows and is layered; dwm relies too much on the mouse. I also did not find intuitive ways to create and destroy columns and I like the extra layer wmii gives me, which also lets me launch things that don't like tiles neatly while keeping the tiles on the background; dwm provides a similar functionality, but it is modal; it doesn't let me retag windows to whatever I want without recompilation.

[1804G]

Dwm recompiles quickly, so it isn't much of a problem, but is inconvenient. Full screen works better in wmii as well, and I did not notice any difference in performance. A nice thing about dwm is that it kept my SLiM background on default.

And I like the weird commands!
