+dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiled and
+floating layouts. Either layout can be applied dynamically, optimizing
+the environment for the application in use and the task performed. It
+is the little brother of wmii.
+
+In tiled layout, windows are managed in a master and stacking area.
+The master area contains the windows which currently need most
+attention, whereas the stacking area contains all other windows. In
+floating layout, windows can be resized and moved freely. Dialog
+windows are always managed floating, regardless of the layout
+selected.
+
+Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or
+multiple tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with those
+tags.
+
+dwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the
+layout, the title of the focused window, and the text read from the
+name of the root window. The selected tags are highlighted with a
+different color, while the tags of the focused window are highlighted
+with a small point.
+
+dwm draws a small border around windows to indicate their focus state.
