Looking for a tiling WM which is easy to configure
Hi All,
Have been using Xmonad, which has some great features but it's configured by a Haskell config file (not straightforward).
Would appreciate recommendations on other WMs which support tiling and which can be easily configured (for example, don't require to learn an unusual programming language).
since when is fvwm a tiling window manager? it's a cool wm but it doesn't have a tiling mode, or has it?
there's only on wm. it's name is wmii. i still use 3.1. although it has some drawbacks it's like coming home . best point is, you don't have to configure it. it's good as it is. look here: http://imgur.com/93aVe.jpg
other alternatives (in preferred order):
- awesome
- dwm
- ion3
DWM is probably the easiest tiler to configure in my opinion. Though to change configuration, you must edit its source and recompile, but it's fairly straight forward.
