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)
- python-yaml
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.
