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.)

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

PolytreeWM is a fork of dwm.
