DWM with patches for different devices.
8657affa2a
I noticed that a non-trivial amount of dwm's work on my machine was from drw_text, which seemed weird, because I have the bar disabled and we only use drw_text as part of bar drawing. Looking more closely, I realised that while we use m->showbar when updating the monitor bar margins, but don't skip actually drawing the bar if it is hidden. This patch skips drawing it entirely if that is the case. On my machine, this takes 10% of dwm's on-CPU time, primarily from restack() and focus(). When the bar is toggled on again, the X server will generate an Expose event, and we'll redraw the bar as normal as part of expose(). |

dwm - dynamic window manager
============================
dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
Requirements
------------
In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
Installation
------------
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.
