Description
bspwm is a tiling window manager that models windows as the leaves of a complete binary tree structure. It solely reacts to X events and the messages sent through a dedicated socket designed for communication. The utility bspc is responsible for sending messages to bspwm's socket. Importantly, bspwm does not manage any keyboard or mouse inputs, requiring an external program, such as sxhkd, to convert keyboard and pointer actions into bspc commands. Each monitor displays only the tree associated with the currently focused desktop, meaning that users can only see one desktop's structure at a time. This tree effectively divides a monitor's rectangular area into smaller, rectangular segments that correspond to different windows. Consequently, users can efficiently manage their workspace, promoting a streamlined and organized 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.
