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.
