 .SH DESCRIPTION

-.SS Overview
-.B dwm
-is a dynamic window manager for X11.
-.SS Options
+dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiling and
+floating modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, optimizing the
+environment for the application in use and the task performed.
+.P
+In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking column. The master
+column contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the
+stacking column contains all other windows. In floating mode windows can be
+resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating,
+regardless of the mode selected.
+.P
+Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
+tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with that tag.
+.P
+dwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the mode,
+the title of the focused window, and the text read from standard input. The
+selected tags are highlighted with a different color, the tags of the focused
+window are highlighted with a small point.
+.P
+dwm draws a 1-pixel border around windows to indicate the focus state.
+Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of them displaying their title.
