About

It's inspired by dwm, but it's configured via an ipc/init script, like river-classic, which makes it a bit easier to get into/test. Specifically, it has: - Tags: Group windows with tag sets, per-tag layouts, and operations on tags. - Layouts: dwm-like tiling, niri-ish scrolling in four orientations, “alt-tab” overview, and pure floating. - Windows: Scratchpads, sticky windows, user labels, window swallowing, and drag with retile. - Rules: Regex window matching to configure initial tags, output, floating, size, and presentation. - IPC: Control windows, configure tags, query objects, and subscribe to events. Maybe you'll use it, or it inspires you to write your own (since River does all the hard stuff) :D River: https://codeberg.org/river/river Other River Window Managers: https://codeberg.org/river/wiki/src/branch/main/pages/wm-lis...
