+README.CONFIG for dwm
+
+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.

+CUSTOMIZATION
+-------------
+Place patches in patches/ . Any files in this directory will be
+applied before the build. If you wish to make changes to the default
+keybindings or other settings, produce a patch against config.h.
+config.h is a copy of config.def.h distributed with the source
+tarball.
+
+Place any patches in the patches/ directory before starting the
+SlackBuild script.
+
+Example:
+
+$ cd dwm-5.8.2
+$ cp config.def.h config.h
+$ vi config.h
+[make customizations]
+$ diff -u config.h config.def.h >> ../patches/config.patch
+$ cd ..
+$ sh dwm.SlackBuild
