Wether the clients of currently selected tag are managed or not + managed, you can re-arrange all clients on the fly. Popup- and + fixed-size windows are treated unmanaged. + </p> + <p> + dwm uses 1-pixel borders to provide the maximum of screen real + estate to clients. Small titlebars are only drawn in front of unfocused + clients. + </p> + <p> + garbeam <b>don't</b> wants any feedback to dwm. If you ask for support, + feature requests or if you report bugs, they will be <b>ignored</b> + with a high chance. dwm is only intended to fit garbeam's needs, + however you are free to download and distribute/relicense it, with the + conditions of the <a href="http://wmii.de/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/dwm?f=f10eb1139362;file=LICENSE;style=raw">MIT/X Consortium license</a>. + </p> + <h2>Development</h2> + <p> + dwm is actively developed in parallel to wmii.
