-Joe's dwm (the dynamic window manager) build
-The original dwm build I used to run. Based on version 6.2.
+dwm - dynamic window manager
+============================
+dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
 
-Dependencies
+
+Requirements
 ------------
- Required:
- ---------
-   - A C compiler
-   - make
-   - xorg
-   - libX11
-   - libXft
-
- Optional:
- ---------
-   - st
-   - dmenu
+In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
+
 
 Installation
 ------------
-To install this open a terminal and run these commands:
-
-  $ git clone git://jozanleclerc.xyz/jozan/dwm.git
-  $ cd dwm
-  $ make
-  # make install clean
-
-To use it as a default WM, if you are using xinit, add this to your .xinitrc:
-  exec dwm
-
-Bindings
---------
-Some of the main key bindings:
- - switch to workspace 1-12 with super+{F1-F12}
- - move selected stack to workspace 1-12 with super+shift+{F1-F12}
- - fire up st terminal with super+return
- - kill selected stack with super+q
- - cycle through stacks down/up with super+j/k
- - move selected stack down/up with super+shift+j/k
- - resize master stack to left/right with super+h/l
- - invoke dmenu_run application launcher with super+p
- - toggle better tiled mode with super+s
- - toggle alternative tiled mode with super+shift+s
- - toggle normal tiled mode with super+t
- - toggle fullscreen mode on selected stack with super+f
- - toggle floating mode on selected stack with super+space
- - toggle top bar with super+b. Hidden by default
- - restart dwm with super+shift+r
- - exit dwm with super+shift+e
-
-Patches
--------
-List of patches in use:
- - actualfullscreen
- - alwayscenter
- - alwaysfullscreen
- - attachasideandbelow
- - centeredmaster
- - fibonacci
- - focusonclick
- - nmaster
- - moveresize
- - movestack
- - noborder
- - nodmenu
- - pertag
- - restartsig
- - savefloats
- - sizehints
- - switchtotag
- - tagothermon
-
-My own autostart script can be found under my dotfiles-bsd repository:
-https://git.jozanleclerc.xyz/jozan/dotfiles-bsd/files.html
-It should be placed in ~/.config/dwm directory.
+Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
+the /usr/local namespace by default).
+
+Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
+necessary as root):
+
+    make clean install
+
+
+Running dwm
+-----------
+Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
+
+    exec dwm
+
+In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
+the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
+
+    DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
+
+(This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
+
+In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
+like this in your .xinitrc:
+
+    while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
+    do
+    	sleep 1
+    done &
+    exec dwm
+
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
+and (re)compiling the source code.

-The original [[https://dwm.suckless.org/][dwm]] build I used to run. Based on version 6.2.
-
-* Dependencies
-** Required:
-	 - A C Compiler
-	 - ~make~
-	 - ~xorg~
-	 - ~libX11~
-	 - ~libXft~
-
-** Optional:
-	 - ~st~ find my custom improved build [[https://github.com/JozanLeClerc/st][here]]

-* Installation
-To install this open a terminal and run these commands:
-#+BEGIN_SRC shell
-git clone git://jozanleclerc.xyz/jozan/dwm.git

-make
-make install clean
-#+END_SRC
-To use it as a default WM, if you are using xinit, add this to your ~.xinitrc~:
-#+BEGIN_SRC shell
-exec dwm
-#+END_SRC
-I am not shure about how to set it up on regular desktop managers like ~gdm~ or ~lightdm~.
