As a DWM user

I like using DWM with small screen (12", 1024px*768px) like on my Thinkpad X31. I'm not always switching hands between keyboard and mouse moving windows.

I give you, i wouldn't recommend dwm to a newbie.

If you want effects, Awesome is a rewrite of dwm using compositing

stop apologizing! Your English is NOT that bad. I hate it when people always apologize for not speaking language perfectly. You are doing better than me, I barely know English, much less a foreign language
