Blow

Blow is a minimalist tiling window manager, inspired by DWM . The code is here .

Like DWM, it:

• Is tiling: the size and position of windows are normally decided by a layout algorithm, not the user.
• Supports multiple tags/workspaces, optional floating windows, mouse moving/resizing, and multiple monitors (with a shared tag set).
• Is configured at compile time

Unlike DWM, it:

• Is written in Rust, using XCB rather than XLib.
• Adds extra features as optional modules/features, rather than patches.
• Doesn't have a built-in bar, to keep the scope narrow.

I mostly built it to learn X11. Turns out, X11 is fucked and you should use Wayland (which is also fucked).

Missing features

• More tiling options
• Cursor warping
• Smart borders
• Bottom stack
