simple-wm

simple-wm (swm) is a X window manager heavily inspired by dwm.

It's goal is to function similarly to dwm, but with better code (both in terms of performane and readability).

Requirements

XLib. Xinerama for multi-monitor support.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/miguelrcborges/simple-wm
make build
sudo make install

This should leave swm's binary in /usr/bin.

Running swm

If you are using xorg-xinit, add the following line to your .xinitrc.

exec swm

If you use a display manager, there should be a desktop entry to swm.

To-Dos that I'm aware (sorted by priority)

• Increase the amount of Atoms that the WM handles. Most urgent ones are the detection if a spawned window is fullscreen or a pop-up.
• A bar.
• Bug hunting & fixing
