NOTE

The source code contains my personal configuration. If you want to use it make sure to look carefully in src/Makefile (specially CFLAGS & LDFLAGS) and src/config.h. If you don't want multiple monitors support, make sure to completely remove XINERAMA.

Installation

<superuser> make --jobs "$(nproc || printf '%s\n' 1)" install

Running dynamd

Add the following line to your ~/.xinitrc to start dynamd using startx:

exec dynamd

Java Applications

Java applications are known to misbehave as java doesn't know which WM is running. This results in GUI of specific java applications to not work properly. Therefore, WMNAME can be used and set it to LG3D, to solve the issue.

• Install WMNAME and execute wmname LG3D to fix Java applications misbehaving. To make it permanent it can either be added in the startup script (startup/startup.sh) or ~/.xinitrc.
