+.SH NAME
+dwm \- dynamic window manager (Luke Smith <https://lukesmith.xyz>'s build)
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B dwm
+.RB [ \-v ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+dwm is a dynamic window manager for X.
+.P
+dwm "orders" windows based on recency and primacy, while dwm layouts may
+change, the most recent "master" window is shown in the most prominent
+position. There are bindings for cycling through and promoting windows to the
+master position.
+.P
+Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
+tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags.
+.P
+Each screen contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the
+layout, the title of the focused window, and the text read from the root window
+name property, if the screen is focused. A floating window is indicated with an
+empty square and a maximised floating window is indicated with a filled square
+before the windows title. The selected tags are indicated with a different
+color. The tags of the focused window are indicated with a filled square in the
+top left corner. The tags which are applied to one or more windows are
+indicated with an empty square in the top left corner.
+.P
+dwm draws a small border around windows to indicate the focus state.

+.SH ISSUES
+Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw grey windows
+only. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in recent JDK 1.5 and early
+JDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a reparenting window manager. Possible workarounds
+are using JDK 1.4 (which doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or setting the
+environment variable
+.BR AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit
+(to use the older Motif backend instead) or running
+.B xprop -root -f _NET_WM_NAME 32a -set _NET_WM_NAME LG3D
+or
+.B wmname LG3D
+(to pretend that a non-reparenting window manager is running that the
+XToolkit/XAWT backend can recognize) or when using OpenJDK setting the environment variable
+.BR _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 .
