If you want to, you can add gaps between the windows as well.\n\nIt was once based on monsterwm but has undergone many greater changes including\nadding pieces from other WMs (hence the name) and porting all sorts of stuff\nfrom Xlib to XCB. Many of the original monsterwm patches have been ported as\nwell.\n\nAll settings must be set at compile time by editing `config.h` and it does not\nfeature a status bar (but supports leaving preconfigured space for one). I\nprepared a few scripts for different bars [here][sb].\n\n  [sb]: https://gist.github.com/sulami/d6a53179d6d7479e0709\n\nInstallation\n------------\n\nNote: If you are on Arch Linux, you can use the [AUR][aur].\n\nYou need xcb and xcb-utils then, copy `config.def.h` as `config.h` and edit to\nsuit your needs.  Build and install.\n\n    $ cp config.def.h config.h\n    $ $EDITOR config.h\n    $ make\n    # make clean install\n\nThe packages in Arch Linux needed for example would be\n`libxcb` `xcb-util` `xcb-util-wm` `xcb-util-keysyms`\n\n  [aur]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/frankenwm-git/\n\nConfiguration\n-------------\n\nConfiguration is done by editing `config.h` before compiling FrankenWM.\n\nUsage\n-----\n\nI took the time to write a really nice and pretty manpage (man frankenwm, or\nman ./[frankenwm.1][man] if you want to read it before installing) covering the\ntiling modes and all of the default shortcuts.\n\n  [man]: https://github.com/sulami/frankenwm/blob/master/frankenwm.1\n\nBugs\n----\n\nYou can report bugs and request features here: [FrankenWM GitHub issues][gh] or\n[ArchLinux Forums][af]\n\n   [gh]: https://github.com/sulami/FrankenWM/issues\n   [af]: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1470320\n\nThanks\n------\n\nParts of FrankenWM come from:\n\n * [c00kiemonster's][cookiemonster] [monsterwm][monsterwm]\n * [cloudef's][cloudef] [monsterwm-xcb][monsterwm-xcb]\n * [venam's][venam] [2bwm][twobwm]\n\n\nInspiration from:\n\n * [suckless'][suckless] [dwm][dwm]\n * [baskerville's][baskerville] [bspwm][bspwm]\n\n\n  [cookiemonster]: https://github.com/c00kiemon5ter\n  [monsterwm]: https://github.com/c00kiemon5ter/monsterwm\n  [cloudef]: https://github.com/cloudef\n  [monsterwm-xcb]: https://github.com/cloudef/monsterwm-xcb\n  [venam]: https://github.com/venam\n  [twobwm]: https://github.com/venam/2bwm\n\n  [suckless]: http://suckless.org/\n  [dwm]:  http://dwm.suckless.org/\n  [baskerville]: https://github.com/baskerville\n  [bspwm]: https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsulami%2FFrankenWM","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsulami%2FFrankenWM","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsulami%2FFrankenWM/lists"}
