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 Cargo for Rust and the Xlib header files.
Installation
------------
./configure
make clean all
sudo make 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.
