bluetile

BLUETILE(1)															       BLUETILE(1)

NAME

       bluetile - full-featured tiling for the GNOME desktop environment

SYNOPSIS

       bluetile [--help] [--version] [--restart]

DESCRIPTION

       Bluetile is a tiling window manager designed to integrate with the GNOME desktop environment. It provides both a traditional, stacking
       layout mode as well as tiling layouts where windows are arranged to use the entire screen without overlapping. Bluetile tries to make the
       tiling paradigm easily accessible to users coming from traditional window managers by drawing on known conventions and providing both mouse
       and keyboard access for all features.

       o   Designed to integrate with the GNOME desktop environment

       o   Hybrid approach: Stacking window layout & tiling layouts available

       o   All features accessible from mouse, as well as keyboard

       o   Maximizing & minimizing windows in all layouts

       o   Good multihead support

       o   Proper handling of fullscreen applications

OVERVIEW

       To quickly get up and running just start Bluetile from your current window manager/desktop environment (preferably GNOME). Bluetile will
       replace the currently running window manager (if the window manager supports this) and start up.

       One way to set up Bluetile as your default window manager under GNOME is to make sure that the environment variable WINDOW_MANAGER contains
       the path to the Bluetile binary before GNOME starts. This can be achieved by putting something like the following line into ~/.gnomerc:

	 export WINDOW_MANAGER=bluetile

       If you use a packaged version of Bluetile, your distribution might already provide you with a preconfigured xsession.

OPTIONS

       --help	 print help message

       --version print the version number

       --restart request a running Bluetile process to restart
