Tilenol is a tiling manager. It's similar in look and feel to qtile, but has much different implementation and configuration.
- Tiling WM, includes floating window support
- Written in pure python, simple small and extensible
- Configured with yaml files
- Includes hooks for python code if needed
- Supports multiple screens, with auto-update
- It's reparenting WM (so works with Java)
- Includes asynchronous main loop so no widgets can block entire WM
Includes dmenu-like thing:
- Starts instantly without skipping first few keystrokes
- Some fuzzy matching is implemented, search not only with a prefix
- Has rich window classification rules to make windows floating and to put them into right places
- Tabs for window navigation (works for any layout)
- python3
- python-greenlet
- xcb-proto (package containing /usr/share/xcb/*.xml)
- zorro (http://github.com/tailhook/zorro)
- pycairo from git (git://git.cairographics.org/git/pycairo)
Note
Tilenol includes pure-python implementation of xcb, so only xml files are needed
After installing python package. You may want to copy examples/*.yaml into /etc/xdg/tilenol or ~/.config/tilenol before starting, as tilenol is non-functional without a configuration.
