      1 2wm - stereo window manager
      2 ===========================
      3 2wm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X. It is the
      4 little brother of dwm.

      7 Requirements
      8 ------------
      9 In order to build 2wm you need the Xlib header files.
     10 
     11 
     12 Installation
     13 ------------
     14 Edit config.mk to match your local setup (2wm is installed into
     15 the /usr/local namespace by default).
     16 
     17 Afterwards enter the following command to build and install 2wm (if
     18 necessary as root):
     19 
     20     make clean install
     21 
     22 
     23 Running 2wm
     24 -----------
     25 Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start 2wm using startx:
     26 
     27     exec 2wm
     28 
     29 In order to connect 2wm to a specific display, make sure that
     30 the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
     31 
     32     DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec 2wm
     33 
     34 (This will start 2wm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
     35 
     36 Configuration
     37 -------------
     38 The configuration of 2wm is done by creating a custom config.h
     39 and (re)compiling the source code.
