Summary
-------
**monsterwm** is a very minimal, lightweight, monsterous, dynamic tiling window manager.
It will try to stay as small as possible. Currently under 750 lines with the config file included.
Modes
-----
It allows the "normal" method of tiling window managers (with the new window as the master)
and with the new window opened at the bottom of the stack (like `dwm`'s attach\_aside)
---
*Common tiling mode:*
--------------
| | W |
| |___|
| Master | |
| |___|
| | |
--------------

*Bottom Stack (bstack) tiling mode:*
-------------
| |
| Master |
|-----------|
| W | | |

---
*Grid tiling mode:*
-------------
| | W |
| | |
|------|----|

---
*Monocycle mode* (aka fullscreen - you'll know when you see it)
-------------
| |
| |
| |
| |
-------------
---
All accessible with keyboard shortcuts defined in the config.h file.
* The window W at the top of the stack can be resized on a per desktop basis.
* Changing a tiling mode or window size on one desktop doesn't affect the other desktops.
Installation
------------
You need Xlib, then,
copy the `config.def.h` file as `config.h`
and edit to suit your needs.
Build and install.
$ cp config.def.h config.h
$ $EDITOR config.h
$ make
# make clean install
