How To Install Bluetile In Ubuntu

Submitted by hotice on Tuesday 8th of December 2009 05:22:10 PM Filed under

Bluetile is a tiling window manager for X based on xmonad. Bluetile automatically arranges the windows to tile the screen, maximizing screen use.

Bluetiles features:

* Hybrid approach: Stacking window layout & tiling layouts available
* Maximizing & minimizing windows in all layouts
* All features accessible from mouse, as well as keyboard
* Good multihead support
* Designed to integrate with the GNOME desktop environment
