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.

Description

In a conventional window manager, a significant portion of your time is often consumed by the tedious tasks of organizing and locating windows. XMonad simplifies your workflow by taking care of these tasks automatically. It's been just over a year since we launched XMonad version 0.17.0, a milestone that coincided with our initial outreach for funding. The level of support we've received from the community has truly been remarkable—thank you all! Although our financial needs are fully disclosed, it can be challenging to stay informed if you're not directly engaged with the project. By automating the routine job of window arrangement, XMonad enables you to focus more on productivity. Thanks to the robustness of Haskell and our commitment to effective programming methodologies, users can expect a seamless, crash-free experience while working. This approach not only enhances efficiency but also fosters a more enjoyable computing environment.
