XMonad is a tiling window manager for X. Windows are arranged
|
|
automatically to tile the screen without gaps or overlap, maximizing
|
|
screen use. Window manager features are accessible from the keyboard; a
|
|
mouse is optional. XMonad is written, configured, and extensible in
|
|
Haskell. Custom layout algorithms, key bindings, and other extensions may
|
|
be written by the user in config files. Layouts are applied
|
|
dynamically, and different layouts may be used on each workspace.
|
|
Xinerama is fully supported, allowing windows to be tiled on several
|
|
physical screens.
|
|
|
|
Development since the last report has continued; XMonad founder Don Stewart
|
|
has stepped down and Adam Vogt is the new maintainer.
|
|
After gestating for 2 years, version 0.10 has been released, with simultaneous
|
|
releases of the XMonadContrib library of customizations (which has now grown to
|
|
no less than 216 modules encompassing a dizzying array of features) and the
|
|
xmonad-extras package of extensions,
