DWM Window manager [1]

+

Suckless window manager

+

Suckless web site

+

It struck me that using DWM with Monocle layout would be just what I've been looking for on my X220

+

I cloned the st, dmenu, and dwm from suckless.org and followed the instructions to compile them.

+

Right now I have Xfce4 installed, so to try out DWM I've added an entry to select it in lightdm

+

sudo micro /usr/share/xsessions/dwm.desktop

+[Desktop Entry] +Encoding=UTF-8 +Name=dwm +Comment=Dynamic window manager +Exec=dwm +Icon=dwm +Type=XSession + +

In dwm's config.h I set the monocle layout as default and recompiled dwm.

+

At first glance this looks much better than the i3 window manager, small, neat and fast.

+

More to come...
