is a dynamic window manager for X11. It manages windows in tiling and floating
|
|
|
|
|
modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, depending on the application in
|
|
|
|
|
use and the task performed.

In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking column. The master
|
|
|
|
|
column contains the window which needs most attention at a time, whereas the
|
|
|
|
|
stacking column contains all other windows in a stack. Dialog windows are
|
|
|
|
|
managed floating, however. In floating mode windows can be resized and moved
|
|
|
|
|
freely.

Windows are grouped by tags. All windows with a specific tag can be viewed at a
|
|
|
|
|
time. But each window may contain more than one tag, which makes it visible in
|
|
|
|
|
several views.

|
|
|
input, if written. It draws 1-pixel borders around windows to indicate the
|
|
|
|
|
focus state. Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of the window
|
|
|
|
|
displaying the tags and the window title.
