Installing and configuring dwm on OS X

  1. Install X11.app (it's on the OS X install disk or something.)

  2. Install dwm. You have to customize config.h a bit:

    1. Replace { MODKEY|ShiftMask, XK_q, quit, {0} }, with { MODKEY|ControlMask, XK_q, quit, {0} }, to avoid colliding with the Log Out shortcut in the Apple menu.

    If you install dwm from Homebrew, brew install dwm, this is done automatically.

dwm on os x [work in progress!]

Installing and configuring dwm on OS X

  1. Install XQuartz (http://xquartz.macosforge.org) which is the development version of the X11.app that ships with OS X, which means it is way more up to date. I have had some weird issues with X11.app v. 2.3-something. XQuartz 2.5.0 fixed that.

  2. Install dwm from Homebrew, brew install dwm. This makes a bunch of necessary tweaks to the DWM configuration.

  3. Add the following script to $PATH, name it dwm-launch and chmod 755:

    cd ~
