Scrotwm is a small dynamic tiling window manager for X11. It tries to stay out
|
|
|
|
|
of the way so that valuable screen real estate can be used for much more
|
|
|
|
|
important stuff. It has sane defaults and does not require one to learn a
|
|
|
|
|
language to do any configuration. It was written by hackers for hackers and it
|
|
|
|
|
strives to be small, compact and fast.

It was largely inspired by xmonad and dwm. Both are fine products but suffer
|
|
|
|
|
from things like: crazy-unportable-language-syndrome, silly defaults,
|
|
|
|
|
asymmetrical window layout, "how hard can it be?" and good old NIH. Nevertheless
|
|
|
|
|
dwm was a phenomenal resource and many good ideas and code was borrowed from it.
|
|
|
|
|
On the other hand xmonad has great defaults, key bindings and xinerama support,
|
|
|
|
|
but is crippled by not being written in C.
