spectrwm

A compact dynamic X11 tiler that arranges clients in a master-and-stack layout and offers workspaces, keyboard controls and a status bar. A plain-text configuration file controls layouts, bindings, rules and appearance, keeping setup accessible without recompiling the window manager. The developers describe spectrwm as inspired by xmonad and dwm.
