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.

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.
• It is the only X11 window manager written using ruby that is still alive.
• It does use C to expose the underlying X11 API.

Installation & Usage

You need to run ./compile.sh to built the c library.
Then add kutu.rb to your ~/.xinitrc file.

TODO

Add ruby like configuration files support.
