 ## Description
 
-`bspwm` is a tiling window manager based on binary space partitioning.
+`bspwm` is a tiling window manager where each window is represented as the leaf of a binary tree.
 
-The windows are represented as the leaves of a binary tree.
+It is controlled and configured via `bspc`.
 
 ## Configuration
 
 `bspwm` have only two sources of informations: the X events it receives and the messages it reads on a dedicated socket.
 
-Those messages are sent via `bspc`.
-
-If the `BSPWM_SOCKET` environment variable is defined, it will be used as the socket path, otherwise `/tmp/bspwm-socket` is used.
+Its configuration file is `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bspwm/autostart`.
 
 The recommended way of defining keyboard shortcuts is to use [sxhkd](https://github.com/baskerville/sxhkd).
 
-The only way to configure `bspwm` is by sending *set* messages via the client, hence `bspwm`'s configuration file is an executable called `autostart` which lives in `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/bspwm/`.
-
-Example configurations: [autostart](https://github.com/baskerville/bin/blob/master/bspwm_autostart) and [sxhkdrc](https://github.com/baskerville/dotfiles/blob/master/sxhkdrc).
+Example configuration files can be found in the `examples` directory.
