# What is subtle?\015\012\015\012[[subtle]] 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 [[tagging|tags]] in the [[config]].\015\012\015\012Windows are visible on views - the virtual desktops in [[subtle]] - that have at least one [[tagging|tag]] in common.\015\012\015\012## Features\015\012\015\012* Builtin system tray\015\012* Extendable [[Panel|panel]] (see [[sublets]])\015\012* Customizeable key/mouse actions (see [[Grabs|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>[[Install|Installing subtle]]</li>\015\012        <li>[[Usage|Using subtle]]</li>\015\012        <li>[[Sublets|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>[[Tagging|Understanding tagging]]</li>\015\012        <li>[[Gravity|Understanding gravity]]</li>\015\012        <li>[[Panel|Customizing panel]]</li>\015\012        <li>[[Grabs|Configuring keys]]</li>\015\012        <li>[[Hooks|Hooking events]]</li>\015\012      </ul>\015\012    </td>\015\012    <td style="vertical-align: top">\015\012      <ul>\015\012        <li>[[Hacking|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.
