31 In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
32 the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
34 DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
36 (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
38 In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
39 like this in your .xinitrc:
43 xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
51 The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
52 and (re)compiling the source code.
