Simple DirectMedia Layer

A cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D video framebuffer. SDL supports Linux, Windows, Windows CE, BeOS, MacOS, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX. The code ... [More] contains unofficial support for AmigaOS, Dreamcast, Atari, AIX, OSF/Tru64, RISC OS, SymbianOS, and OS/2. SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to several other languages, including Ada, C#, Eiffel, Erlang, Euphoria, Guile, Haskell, Java, Lisp, Lua, ML, Objective C, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Pike, Pliant, Python, Ruby, Smalltalk, and Tcl.

xmonad

xmonad is a tiling window manager for X. Windows are arranged automatically to tile the screen without gaps or overlap, maximising screen use. All features of the window manager are accessible from the keyboard: a mouse is strictly optional. xmonad is written and extensible in Haskell. Custom layout ... [More] algorithms, and other extensions, may be written by the user in config files. Layouts are applied dynamically, and different layouts may be used on each workspace. Xinerama is fully supported, allowing windows to be tiled on several screens. [Less]

StumpWM

Stumpwm is a tiling window manager written entirely in Common Lisp. It attempts to be highly customizable while relying entirely on the keyboard for input.

wmii

wmii is a dynamic window manager for X11. It supports classic and dynamic window management with extended keyboard, mouse, and filesystem based remote control. It replaces the workspace paradigm with a new tagging approach. Its minimalist philosophy attempts to not exceed 10,000 lines of code ... [More] (including all shipped utilities and libraries), to enforce simplicity and clarity. [Less]

i3

Key features of i3 are correct implementation of Xinerama (workspaces are assigned to virtual screens, i3 does the right thing when attaching new monitors), XrandR support (not done yet), horizontal and vertical columns (think of a table) in tiling. Also, special focus is on writing clean ... [More] , readable and well documented code. i3 uses xcb for asynchronous communication with X11, and has several measures to be very fast. Please be aware i3 is primarily targeted at advanced users and developers. [Less]

OpenTK

The Open Toolkit (OpenTK) is a free, fast, cross-platform C# wrapper for OpenGL, OpenGL ES, OpenAL and OpenCL. The bindings are strongly-typed and contain inline documentation for improved security and coding speed. Additional utilities integrate the bindings with .Net, making OpenTK especially ... [More] suited to Rapid Application Development. OpenTK can be used alone or integrated into GUI toolkits, like Windows.Forms and GTK#. It runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X without recompilation, is easy to deploy and is compatible with all .Net languages: C#, VB.Net, C++/CLI, F#, IronPython, Boo, ... [Less]

ratpoison

ratpoison is a Window Manager that puts that sick little rodent out of its misery. Enjoy ratpoison's smooth keyboard handling and slick performance. Don't worry about dependancies, 'cause there ain't none! And best of all, its GNOME incompliant!

subtle

A grid-based manual tiling window manager with a strong focus on easy but customizable look and feel

wmiirc-lua

Wmiirc-lua is a replacement of the wmiirc that comes with wmii-3.5 (and later) with a lua script. This removes the fork/exec overhead of the shell script that is used to control the wmii window manager. The long term goal of the project is to duplicate features from the wmii+ruby project.

QuickTile

A simple tool for adding WinSplit-style window-tiling keybindings to X11 (Linux/BSD/etc.) desktops without replacing the existing window manager.
