A window manager is system software that controls the placement and appearance of windows within a windowing system in a graphical user interface. Most window managers are designed to help provide a desktop environment. They work in conjunction with the underlying graphical system that provides required functionality-support for graphics hardware, pointing devices, and a keyboard, and are often written and created using a widget toolkit.
Few window managers are designed with a clear distinction between the windowing system and the window manager. Every graphical user interface based on a windows metaphor has some form of window management. In practice, the elements of this functionality vary greatly. Elements usually associated with window managers allow the user to open, close, minimize, maximize, move, resize, and keep track of running windows, including window decorators. Many window managers also come with various utilities and features: e.g. docks, task bars, program launchers, desktop icons, and wallpaper.

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 KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
