A highly configurable X11 window manager written and extended in Lua. Its dynamic tagging model, per-client rules, layouts, widgets and multi-monitor support let users assemble a desktop from scriptable components rather than a fixed shell. Originally based on dwm code; the project developed its own Lua-driven dynamic window-management model.
