Tiling X11 window manager and Vulkan compositor

Chamferwm is a dynamic tiling window manager with a built-in Vulkan based compositor. Besides aiming to be a fully featured and highly configurable window manager, significant effort is put to provide a complete control over the appearance of the desktop. With its shader based customization system, Chamferwm enables rendering of arbitrary window decorations, borders and effects, maximizing the potential for visual personalization. Window manager: - Dynamic horizontal and vertical tiling with gaps and stacking - Specify container size restrictions, overlap when necessary - Resize and translate individual containers in their place while keeping the surrounding layout - Floating containers and automatic dialog, dock, widget etc. handling - Multiple named workspaces - Yank and paste containers to move them within the tree hierarchy along with typical move operations - Configuration with python, scriptable behaviour with client and container specific callbacks - Fully keyboard controllable Compositor: - Vulkan renderer - Arbitrary window decorations and borders with user supplied shaders - Per-client materials - Automatically disable for fullscreen applications - Optional, alternatively use any other external compositor - Standalone compositor mode (beta) to be used in combination with any other window manager
