Want more tiles? Different layouts? Floating? Go away ;)

[rust collector]

that does look interesting

I like it. It's like a manual tiler with a static tile layout. Each tile can contain more than one window (with only one visible) and the windows in one tile can be cycled or moved to other tiles. Something similar could be set up in any manual tiler but the design philosophy here is to reduce the amount of choice and just make something usable.

As the designer says:

The urge to keep tweaking stuff on Arch can be distracting. I use goomwwm mostly and other WMs sometimes, but some days I need a way to automate self-control and concentrate on work...

Introducing xoat, the straitjacket of window managers.

I like that idea. I will have to try this one

I like his sense of humour, seems very personal WM, which is nice.

I remember reading about this. Similar to Joe's hcwm. Still a nice option though.

I like it already. Nice.

Needless to say it, but I'm saying it anyway: I like it. :)
Love the name also.

[GekkoP]

Trying it out.
dkeg's right, it reminds me of hcwm. Also, as the author says, it is better running it on screens that are bigger than my poor 1024x768.



Edit: forgot to say one more thing. I opened the two st terms in the scrot using fixed geometry, the wm placed them automatically there.

Beautiful Gekko.
