This article or section needs expansion.

Reason: Stub. (Discuss in Talk:Dwl)

dwl is the wlroots-based fork of the suckless window manager dwm created for Wayland users.

Installation

dwl can be installed with the dwl^AUR or dwl-git^AUR packages. Make any required configuration changes before building and installing, see makepkg.

Configuration

dwl can be configured in C by editing config.h in the source files. You can revert to the defaults by copying the contents of config.def.h into config.h. Remember to rebuild your package to use your changes.

Usage

Enable/start seatd.service from seatd, which will be installed as a dependency of wlroots, otherwise dwl will kick and scream at runtime about how it cannot open a backend and cannot find any seats. dwl can then be started via

$ dbus-run-session dwl
