umberwm :ram:

Minimalistic X window manager based on tinywm, inspired by qtile.

video introduction on LBRY or on youtube.

prerequisites

you should have xmodmap installed

design goals and features

• kiss: only window management (no taskbar, system tray, ...), complex stuff should be done using other programs (rofi, ...)
• configuration as code (like qtile, dwm, xmonad)
• tiled by default (Binary space partitioning)
• supports workspaces
• supports multiple displays
• single file (~600 LoC)

using it

umberwm is used/configured in rust, here is how to use it:

1. install rust and cargo https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/getting-started/installation.html
2. clone template project (:warning: it is a different repository): git clone https://github.com/yazgoo/myumberwm
3. edit src/main.rs (see comments for more details)
4. run cargo build, binary is available in target/debug/myumerwm

add the following to your .xinitrc :

shell exec /path/to/myumberwm mod4
