PolytreeWM - tiling window manager
==================================

PolytreeWM is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic tiling window manager for X.

Requirements
------------

In order to build PolytreeWM you need the Xlib header files.

Installation
------------

Edit config.mk to match your local setup (PolytreeWM is installed into the
/usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install PolytreeWM (if
necessary as root):

    make clean install

Running
-------

Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start PolytreeWM using startx:

    exec polytreewm

In order to connect PolytreeWM to a specific display, make sure that the DISPLAY
environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:

    DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec polytreewm

(This will start PolytreeWM on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)

In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
like this in your .xinitrc:

    while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
    do
        sleep 1
    done &
    exec polytreewm

Configuration
-------------

The configuration of PolytreeWM is done by creating a custom config.h and
(re)compiling the source code.
