2bwm
==========
A fast floating WM, with the particularity of having 2 borders, written over the XCB library and derived from mcwm written by Michael Cardell.
In 2bWM everything is accessible from the keyboard but a pointing device can be used for move, resize and raise/lower.
WARNING: This WM and this repository are experimental, 2bwm is only meant for advance users.

Now comparing Memory ressource usage. (in KB)
mcwm -- the wm 2bwm is based upon
dvtm -- a terminal multiplexer
```
~ > ps -eo args,size,vsize,rss,vsize | grep -P "(^mcwm)|(^dvtm)|(^2bwm)|(^monsterwm)|(^dwm)"
mcwm 300 2480 668 2480
2bwm 300 2552 680 2552
dwm 300 5400 1384 5400
monsterwm 304 3708 1008 3708
dvtm 5624 9656 6256 9656
```
Notice that all those WM are really small and that size doesn't really matter in the end.
(Someone should write something about the features here)
//Panel that works with 2bwm: fbpanel, tint2, xfce4-panel, lxpanel, hpanel
tweaks you need for 2bwm on OpenBSD: add /usr/X11R6/include to search path, install gcc-4.7, use CC=egcc make
