Herbstluftwm

herbstluftwm is Article description::a manual tiling [[window manager for X11 using Xlib and Glib]]. Its main features can be described with:


 * the layout is based on splitting frames into subframes which can be split again or can be filled with windows (similar to i3/ musca)
 * tags (or workspaces or virtual desktops or …) can be added/removed at runtime. Each tag contains an own layout
 * exactly one tag is viewed on each monitor. The tags are monitor independent (similar to xmonad)
 * it is configured at runtime via ipc calls from herbstclient. So the configuration file is just a script which is run on startup. (similar to wmii/ musca)
