h1. What is subtle?\015\012\015\012[[Subtle|subtle]] is a +manual+ tiling window manager with an uncommon approach of tiling: Per default there is no typical layout enforcement, windows are placed on a custom grid either directly by the user per [[grabs]] or according to rules defined by [[tags]] in the [[config]]. \015\012\015\012Besides the grid placement [[tags]] also determine how and where a window can be viewed. [[Views]] - the virtual desktops in [[subtle]] - show all windows with matching [[tags]].\015\012\015\012h2.
