+----------------------
 
-This is a branch off of moetunes [dminiwm][], which in turn was based on [catwm][] by [pyknite][].
-Credits and licensing included in `monsterwm.c` and/or `config.def.h`.
+**monsterwm** is a minimal, lightweight, tiny but monsterous dynamic tiling window manager.
+It will try to stay as small as possible. Currently under 700 lines with the config file included.
+It provides a set of different layout modes (see below), but has no floating mode support yet.
+Each virtual desktop has its own properties, unaffected by other desktops' settings.
 For screenshots and ramblings/updates check the [topic on ArchLinux forums][monsterwm].

-**monsterwm** is a very minimal, lightweight, monsterous, tiny, dynamic tiling window manager.
-It will try to stay as small as possible. Currently under 700 lines with the config file included.
-It's like dwm with gridlayout, bstack, pertag, dwmreturn patches builtin, but without floating mode.
 
 Modes
 -----
 
-It allows the "normal" method of tiling window managers (with the new window as the master)
-and with the new window opened at the bottom of the stack (like `dwm`'s attach\_aside)
+Monsterwm allows opening the new window as master or
+opening the window at the bottom of the stack (attach\_aside)

+on the screen.
+Monsterwm does not provide a panel and/or statusbar itself. Instead it adheres
+to the [UNIX philosophy][unix] and outputs information about the existent
+desktop, the number of windows on each, the mode of each desktop, the current
+desktop and urgent hints whenever needed. The user can use whatever tool or
+panel suits him best (dzen2, concy, w/e), to process and display that information.
