swim - window manager
=====================
swim is a quick and tiny window manager for x.

Requirements
------------
swim requires xlib, xinerama, xrender, freetype2 and libxkbcommon to build.

Installation
------------
swim comes with a Makefile and config.mk file for building.  Edit config.mk to
match your local setup (swim is installed into the /usr/local namespace by
default; you may need to modify your $PATH).

swim can be built and installed with the following command (run as root):

    make install


Usage
-----
swim is run as a normal x window manager.  Normally, window managers are run
from an $XINITRC file for use with sx(1) or startx(1).  Add the following line
to the end of $XINITRC to run swim:

    exec swim


Configuration
-------------
swim can be configured by editing and (re)compiling the source code.
