Welcome to Scrotwm's website.<p>

|
|
Scrotwm is a small dynamic tiling window manager for X11.
|
|
It tries to stay out of the way so that valuable screen real estate can
|
|
be used for much more important stuff.
|
|
It has sane defaults and does not require one to learn a language to do
|
|
any configuration.
|
|
It was written by hackers for hackers and it strives to be small, compact and
|
|
fast.
|
|
<p>
|
|
It was largely inspired by
|
|
<a href="http://xmonad.org/">xmonad</a>
|
|
and
|
|
<a href="http://www.suckless.org/dwm/">dwm</a>.
|
|
Both are fine products but suffer from things like:
|
|
crazy-unportable-language-syndrome, silly defaults, asymmetrical window
|
|
layout, "how hard can it be?" and good old NIH.
|
|
Nevertheless dwm was a phenomenal resource and many good ideas and code
|
|
was borrowed from it.
|
|
On the other hand xmonad has great defaults, key bindings and xinerama
|
|
support but is crippled by not being written in C.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Scrotwm is a beautiful pearl!
|
|
For it too, was created by grinding irritation.
|
|
Nothing is a bigger waste of time than moving windows around until they are the
|
|
right size-ish or having just about any relevant key combination being eaten
|
|
for some task one never needs.
|
|
The path of agony is too long to quote and in classical
|
|
<a href="http://www.openbsd.org">OpenBSD</a>
|
|
fashion (put up, or hack up) a brand new window manager was whooped up to serve
|
|
no other purpose than to obey its masters.
|
|
It was written by Marco Peereboom, Ryan Thomas McBride & Darrin Chandler and it
|
|
is released under the ISC
|
|
<a href="license.html">license</a>.
|
|
Patches can be accepted provided they are ISC licensed as well.<br>
