.SH DESCRIPTION
-.SS Overview
.B dwm
-is a dynamic window manager for X11. It consists of a small status bar at the
-top of the screen and arranges windows in either a tiled or floating mode.
+is a dynamic window manager for X11. It manages windows in tiling and floating
+modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, depending on the application in
+use and the task performed.
.P
-If
-.B dwm
-is in tiled mode, it consists of two columns. The left master column
-contains only one window per time, the right column contains all other windows
-in a stack. In tiled mode
-.B dwm
-.B don't
-handles incremental resizals, some terminal programs like
-.B xterm
-may not work correctly with this in tiled mode.
-.P
-If
-.B dwm
-is in floating mode, it arranges all windows with the reqyested geometry and
-allows the user to move or resize them. Some windows, like
-dialog windows, are treated floating even if
-.B dwm
-is in tiled mode. In floating mode
-.B dwm
-handles incremental resizals.
+In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking column. The master
+column contains the window which needs most attention at a time, whereas the
+stacking column contains all other windows in a stack. Dialog windows are
+managed floating, however. In floating mode windows can be resized and moved
+freely.
.P
-Windows are grouped by tags. You can view all windows with a specific tag per
-time. However, each window is allowed to contain more than one tag, which
-allows to make windows visible in all views.
+Windows are grouped by tags. All windows with a specific tag can be viewed at a

-.SS Customization
-.B dwm
-is customized through editing its source code. It is assumed that
-dwm users are high experienced users who know how a window manager works
-and who are able to patch
-.B dwm
-for their needs. This keeps
-.B dwm
-fast, secure and simple, because it does not process any input data, except
-window properties and the status text read from

-.SH BUGS
-Some terminal programs do not behave correctly in tiled mode, because
-incremental resizals are ignored to use maximum screen real estate. You can
-patch the code to fix this.
+.SH CUSTOMIZATION
+.B dwm
+is customized by editing the file config.h of the source code.
+This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
