A modern tiling window manager with a gentle learning curve. #Window manager #Desktop environment #Tiling #WM #Desktop #GNOME
Bluetile is a tiling window manager for X, based on the xmonad project. Windows are arranged automatically to tile the screen without gaps or overlap, maximising screen use. Bluetile's focus lies on making 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. It also tries to be usable 'out of the box', requiring minimal to no configuration in most cases.
Bluetile started as a university project and topic of my thesis (you can find slides of my talks and the thesis online, but only in German). It now continues as an open source project. See the wiki for more background on the motivation behind Bluetile and its relationship to xmonad.
