BLUETILE(1) BLUETILE(1) NAME
bluetile - full-featured tiling for the GNOME desktop environment SYNOPSIS
bluetile [--help] [--version] [--restart] DESCRIPTION
Bluetile is a tiling window manager designed to integrate with the GNOME desktop environment. It provides both a traditional, stacking layout mode as well as tiling layouts where windows are arranged to use the entire screen without overlapping. Bluetile tries to make the tiling paradigm easily accessible to users coming from traditional window managers by drawing on known conventions and providing both mouse and keyboard access for all features. o Designed to integrate with the GNOME desktop environment o Hybrid approach: Stacking window layout & tiling layouts available o All features accessible from mouse, as well as keyboard o Maximizing & minimizing windows in all layouts o Good multihead support o Proper handling of fullscreen applications OVERVIEW
To quickly get up and running just start Bluetile from your current window manager/desktop environment (preferably GNOME). Bluetile will replace the currently running window manager (if the window manager supports this) and start up. One way to set up Bluetile as your default window manager under GNOME is to make sure that the environment variable WINDOW_MANAGER contains the path to the Bluetile binary before GNOME starts. This can be achieved by putting something like the following line into ~/.gnomerc: export WINDOW_MANAGER=bluetile If you use a packaged version of Bluetile, your distribution might already provide you with a preconfigured xsession.

awesome - awesome window manager SYNOPSIS
awesome [-v | --version] [-h | --help] [-c | --config FILE] [-k | --check] DESCRIPTION
awesome is a window manager for X. It manages windows in different layouts, like floating or tiled. Any layout can be applied dynamically, optimizing the environment for the application in use and the task currently being performed. In a tiled layout, windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master area contains the windows which currently need the most attention, whereas the stacking area contains all other windows. In a floating layout windows can be resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed as floating, regardless of the layout currently applied. The spiral and dwindle layouts are special cases of the tiled layout where the stacking area is arranged in a spiral for the former or as a rectangular fractal for the later. Windows are grouped by tags in awesome. Each window can be tagged with one or more tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags. awesome can contain small wiboxes which can display anything you want: all available tags, the current layout, the title of the visible windows, text, etc. OPTIONS
