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.

./configure
make clean all
sudo make install

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.

PolytreeWM is originally a fork of dwm, but is very different now. It also includes the following dwm patches:
