It was conceived and coded by the same group of people who are responsible for spectrwm! Introduction spectrwm is a small dynamic tiling window manager for X11. Start - Musca - Pentadactyl. A simple tiling window manager for X, with features nicked from ratpoison and dwm: Musca operates as a tiling window manager by default.
It uses manual tiling, which means the user determines how the screen is divided into non-overlapping frames, with no restrictions on layout. Application windows always fill their assigned frame, with the exception of transient windows and popup dialog boxes which float above their parent application at the appropriate size. Once visible, applications do not change frames unless so instructed.Since not all applications suit tiling, a more traditional stacking window manager mode is also available, allowing windows to float at any screen location and overlap.There are no built in status bars, panels, tabs or window decorations to take up screen real estate.
If the user wants any of these things, there are plenty of external applications available to do the job. Start - awesome - Pentadactyl. The goal of this wiki is to provide a community-made documentation and especially help new users with the configuration of awesome.
We cover developer information too, including information about how-to build awesome (several related distributions), how-to debug, and so on.
