This repository contains my configuration of DWM

About

DWM Logo

DWM is a dynamic window manager for X developed by suckless.org. It is designed to be extremely fast and small.

It manages windows in tiled, monocle and floating layouts. All of the layouts can be applied dynamically, optimising the environment for the application in use and the task performed.
