**Warning:** 2bwm is still in alpha stage and should be used cautiously. At the moment, 2bwm is only for advanced users.

[2bwm](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/2bwm/)<sup><small>AUR</small></sup> is 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. The name has recently changed from mcwm-beast to 2bwm.

## Installation
|
|
|
|
[Install](/index.php/Install "Install") [2bwm](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/2bwm/)<sup><small>AUR</small></sup>. Although the installation process can be automatic, if directly building from the AUR, it is highly recommended to read and edit the "config.h" file in the source directory.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
### Starting 2bwm
|
|
|
|
2bwm generally starts from a script, either from [startx](/index.php/Startx "Startx") or from a login manager such as [XDM](/index.php/XDM "XDM").
|
|
|
|
If it starts from the console, a .xinitrc file is needed. Here is a complete example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
# Set a nice background.
|
|
xsetroot -solid grey20
|
|
|
|
# Load resources.
|
|
xrdb -load ~/.Xresources
|
|
|
|
# Start window manager in the background. If it dies, X still lives.
|
|
2bwm &
|
|
|
|
# Start a terminal in the foreground. If this dies, X dies.
|
|
exec urxvt
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2bwm used to have startup options. They have been removed because editing the config file was more convenient.
