# cwm – a lightweight and efficient window manager for X11

This is an opinionated port and fork of OpenBSD's cwm window manager to Linux.
Unnecessary or obscure features have been removed whilst a few bugs have been
patched. Future upstream fixes will be included.

See [cwm(1)](cwm.1) and [cwmrc(5)](cwmrc.5).

## Removed features

 - Path completion in the exec menu
 - The entire ssh menu
 - The entire wm menu
 - Matching on window title history

## Added features and bugfixes

 - XDG-compliant configuration file location
 - Windows are automatically raised when fullscreened
 - Warping to last active window if there is no active client
 - Ignored clients are not shown in the window menu
 - Colors are calculated using the client's visual and colormap,
   enabling support for compositors
 - A memory leak in conf_clear has been fixed
 - A string truncation issue in menu_draw has been fixed
