My personal build of Suckless' Dynamic Window Manager

Why DWM?

Keeping things simple, minimal and usable.

dwm is customized through editing its source code, which makes it extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which isn't known at compile time. To customize it for your needs, you need to know C.

Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it's pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions.
