[SOLVED] Unable to Properly Display MATLAB in dwm

Solution:

Install wmname:

sudo pacman -S wmname

Set the window manager name to LG3D:

wmname LG3D &    # This can be added to .xinitrc

Set the following environment variables:

export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1
export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit

Original question

After installing MATLAB R2023a using the official installation package, I cd into the bin/ directory in the installation directory and start MATLAB using ./matlab. After launching, the software fails to properly display its contents, showing only a white window. There is no any error message output in the terminal.

Similarly, MATLAB can't be launched via the symbolic link created during the installation process.

Here is my system information:
