[snip] I like i3 a lot but I don't like the default window arrangement in columns across the screen. Stacked mode is an alternative but the window titles take up a lot of room. I prefer spectrwm, which gets less publicity but for me is cleaner and more intuitive to use. Like i3, it is also configured in plain text. It has all the features I want, and more. My second preference is dwm. This is configured in C, which I don't know, but it isn't difficult to figure out how it works in this case. However, spectrwm adds some very useful features. Actually, most tiling WMs are fairly similar in appearance and work in much the same way. Altbough they are called tiling, I use spectrwm fullscreen most of the time, and I think quite a few people do this. -- Anthony Campbell - a...@acampbell.org.uk http://www.acupuncturecourse.org.uk http://www.smashwords.com/profile.view/acampbell https://itunes.apple.com/ca/artist/anthony-campbell/id73235412 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
