.TH LDWM 1 ldwm\-VERSION
.SH NAME
ldwm \- less dynamic window manager
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ldwm
.RB [ \-v ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
ldwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiled, monocle
and floating layouts. Either layout can be applied dynamically, optimising the
environment for the application in use and the task performed.
.P
In tiled layouts windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master
area contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the
stacking area contains all other windows. In monocle layout all windows are
maximised to the screen size. In floating layout windows can be resized and
moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating, regardless of the
layout applied.
.P
Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags.
.P
Each screen contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the
layout, the title of the focused window, and the text read from the root window
name property, if the screen is focused. A floating window is indicated with an
empty square and a maximised floating window is indicated with a filled square
before the windows title. The selected tags are indicated with a different
color. The tags of the focused window are indicated with a filled square in the
top left corner. The tags which are applied to one or more windows are
indicated with an empty square in the top left corner.
