Description

This window manager is designed primarily for power users, developers, and anyone engaged in daily computing tasks who desires detailed control over their graphical interface. In fact, a window manager is one of the most frequently utilized software applications in everyday activities, alongside web browsers, email clients, and text editors. Power users and programmers enjoy a wide variety of options among multiple tools for their daily operations, many of which are highly customizable. Awesome aims to fill the gap in these tools by providing an extensible and highly configurable window manager that enhances the overall user experience.

Description

i3 is a window manager designed with a tiling approach and built entirely from the ground up. It is compatible with GNU/Linux and BSD operating systems, and it is released as Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) under the BSD license. The design of i3 primarily caters to advanced users and developers. Drawing from our experiences while attempting to modify wmii, we established several objectives for i3. Key among these is ensuring that the software can be customized by individuals who possess programming knowledge but may not be well-versed in the intricacies of X11. To achieve this, we aim to provide comprehensive documentation that explains the reasoning behind various functionalities and their timing, allowing users to grasp the full scope of responsibilities handled by a Window Manager just through the source code. Furthermore, we prioritize the correct implementation of multi-monitor setups, enabling each workspace to be assigned to a distinct virtual screen. It is critical to ensure seamless operation during the connection and disconnection of new monitors, such as video projectors, while also supporting rotated displays, thus enhancing user experience and flexibility in different working environments. In doing so, we hope to create a more intuitive and adaptable window management experience for users.
