- What is subtle?\015\012\015\012subtle is a manual tiling window manager with a rather uncommon approach of tiling: Per default there is no typical layout enforcement, windows are placed on a position (gravity) in a custom grid. The user can change the gravity of each window either directly per grabs or with rules defined by tags in the config.\015\012\015\012Windows are visible on views - the virtual desktops in subtle - that have at least one tag in common.\015\012\015\012## Features\015\012\015\012* Builtin system tray\015\012* Extendable panel (see sublets)\015\012* Customizeable key/mouse actions (see grabs)\015\012* Scriptable with [Ruby](http://www.ruby-lang.org) (see [rdoc](http://rdoc.subforge.org/subtle( and subtlext)\015\012* Commandline client (see subtler)\015\012* Window tagging\015\012* [EWMH](http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-1.3.html) / [ICCCM](http://tronche.com/gui/x/icccm) / [XDG](http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html) compliant\015\012* [Xinerama](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinerama) / [XRandr](http://www.x.org/wiki/Projects/XRandR) support\015\012\015\012## Where to start?\015\012\015\012<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">\015\012 <tr>\015\012 <td style="vertical-align: top">\015\012 <ul>\015\012 <li>Installing subtle</li>\015\012 <li>Using subtle</li>\015\012 <li>Using sublets</li>\015\012 <li>Themes</li>\015\012 </ul>\015\012 </td>\015\012 <td style="vertical-align: top">\015\012 <ul>\015\012 <li>Understanding tagging</li>\015\012 <li>Understanding gravity</li>\015\012 <li>Customizing panel</li>\015\012 <li>Configuring keys</li>\015\012 <li>Hooking events</li>\015\012 </ul>\015\012 </td>\015\012 <td style="vertical-align: top">\015\012 <ul>\015\012 <li>Hacking subtle</li>\015\012 <li>Scripting</li>\015\012 <li>Snippets</li>\015\012 <li><a href="http://subforge.org/ezfaq/index/subtle">FAQ</a></li>\015\012 </ul>\015\012 </td>\015\012 </tr>\015\012</table>\015\012\015\012## Contribute\015\012\015\012In case you want to help but don't know how to code please help with some documentation and improve the wiki.
