# KUTU WM
|
|
|
|
> It is still under development, even though it is techically working.
|
|
|
|
KUTU is a window manager for X11.
|
|
|
|
### To know what a window manager is, please check out [this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_manager).

|
## Philosophy
|
|
|
|
KUTU means box in turkish, which is my idea behind implementing this WM.
|
|
- It is to be used as a bunch of boxes inside which you can throw your windows.
|
|
- It is non-reparenting. (So maybe add that flag to your Java Applications)
|
|
- It is primarily a tiled WM, but it also supports floating windows.
|
|
- This WM is written mostly in `Ruby` and is meant for my personal use only.
|
|
- It does use `C` to expose the underlying X11 API.
|
|
|
|
## Installation & Usage
|
|
|
|
You need to run `./compile.sh` to built the c library.
|
|
<br>
|
|
Then add `kutu.rb` to your `~/.xinitrc` file.
|
|
|
|
## TODO
|
|
|
|
Add `ruby` like configuration files support.
