Simple dynamic window manager for X with features nicked from ratpoison and dwm: * Musca operates as a tiling window manager by default. It uses manual tiling, which means the user determines how the screen is divided into non-overlapping frames, with no restrictions on layout. Application windows always fill their assigned frame, with the exception of transient windows and popup dialog boxes which float above their parent application at the appropriate size. Once visible, applications do not change frames unless so instructed. * Since not all applications suit tiling, a more traditional stacking window manager mode is also available, allowing windows to float at any screen location and overlap. * There are no built in status bars, panels, tabs or window decorations to take up screen real estate. If the user wants any of these things, there are plenty of external applications available to do the job. Window decoration is limited to a slender border, which is coloured to indicate keyboard focus. * Windows are placed in named groups which can be used in a similar fashion to virtual desktops. Groups can be added and removed on the fly, and each group has its own frame layout. * The excellent dmenu utility is used to execute commands and launch applications, and it can also act as a window and group switcher. Basic EWMH support allows use of common panels, pagers and wmctrl. * Windows and frames are navigated and focused on any mouse button click, including rolling the wheel, or alternatively driven entirely by the keyboard. Simple key combinations exist for window switching, group switching, frame control and screen switching.
