i3 is a tiling window manager, completely written from scratch.

i3 was created because wmii, our favorite window manager at the time,
|
|
|
|
|
didn't provide some features we wanted (multi-monitor done right,
|
|
|
|
|
for example), had some bugs, didn't progress since quite some time and
|
|
|
|
|
wasn't easy to hack at all (source code comments/documentation completely
|
|
|
|
|
lacking). Still, we think the wmii developers and contributors did a
|
|
|
|
|
great job. Thank you for inspiring us to create i3.

Please be aware that i3 is primarily targeted at advanced users and

|
|
|
|
developers.

perl-JSON-XS, perl-AnyEvent, perl-AnyEvent-I3. They are required

for i3's new layout saving/restoring features.
