Xmonad is a tiling window manager for X. Windows are arranged automatically to tile the screen without gaps or overlap, maximising screen use. All features of the window manager are accessible from the keyboard: a mouse is strictly optional. Xmonad is written and extensible in Haskell. Custom layout algorithms, and other extensions, may be written by the user in config files. Layouts are applied dynamically, and different layouts may be used on each workspace. Xinerama is fully supported, allowing windows to be tiled on several screens.

This package provides a Wayland kiosk, which runs a single, maximized application.

papersway is an implementation of scrollable window management like gnome-shell-extension-paperwm for sway and i3-wm. If you like sway and i3-wm's commitments to stability, avoiding scope creep etc., but dislike the window management model, papersway might be of interest.

Stumpwm is a window manager written entirely in Common Lisp. It attempts to be highly customizable while relying entirely on the keyboard for input. These design decisions reflect the growing popularity of productive, customizable lisp based systems.

This utility for the i3 window manager allows you to quickly switch to and locate windows on all your workspaces, using an interactive dmenu prompt.

wlroots is a set of pluggable, composable, unopinionated modules for building a Wayland compositor.

wmenu is a dynamic menu for Wayland, which reads a list of newline-separated items from stdin. When the user selects an item and presses Return, their choice is printed to stdout and wmenu terminates. Entering text will narrow the items to those matching the tokens in the input.

This package provides a StumpWM module which adds gaps between windows.

This package provides a StumpWM module to manipulate all windows in the current X session.

Niri is a scrollable-tiling Wayland compositor which arranges windows in a scrollable format. It is considered stable for daily use and performs most functions expected of a Wayland compositor.

QuickTile is a simple utility, inspired by WinSplit Revolution for Windows, which adds window-tiling keybindings to existing X11 window manager. It may be used as a standalone alternative to the keyboard related features of the Compiz Grid plugin.

shaderbg lets you render shaders as wallpapers. It works on Wayland compositors supporting the wlr-layer-shell protocol.

libucl implements a configuration language that is easy to read and write, and compatible with JSON.

xmobar is a lightweight, text-based, status bar written in Haskell. It was originally designed to be used together with Xmonad, but it is also usable with any other window manager. While xmobar is written in Haskell, no knowledge of the language is required to install and use it.

yeganesh is a small wrapper around demnu. Like dmenu, it accepts input on stdin and writes the chosen result on stdout. Unlike dmenu, it mangles the input before it presents its choices. In particular, it displays commonly-chosen options before uncommon ones.

wlroots is a set of pluggable, composable, unopinionated modules for building a Wayland compositor.

Wallpaper utility for Sway with support for per-workspace configuration.

This module provides a winner-mode for StumpWM similar to the one in Emacs.

Fork of Sway, a Wayland compositor compatible with i3. SwayFX adds extra options and effects to the original Sway, such as blur, rounded corners, shadows, inactive window dimming, etc.

Avizo is a simple notification daemon for Sway, mainly intended to be used for multimedia keys.

This package provides a Lisp implementation of TTF font rendering.

A drop-in replacement for the wlroots scene API that allows wayland compositors to render surfaces with eye-candy effects.

Stumpwm is a window manager written entirely in Common Lisp. It attempts to be highly customizable while relying entirely on the keyboard for input. These design decisions reflect the growing popularity of productive, customizable lisp based systems.

i3 is a tiling X11 window manager that dynamically manages tiled, stacked, and tabbed window layouts.

i3 primarily targets advanced users. Windows are managed manually and organised inside containers, which can be split vertically or horizontally, and optionally resized.

i3 uses a plain-text configuration file, and can be extended and controlled from many programming languages.
