v-stack: master area in left half, other windows stack up vertically in the right half.Aka: bottom stack (dwm), bstack(monsterwm). h-stack: master area in top half, other windows stack up horizontally in the bottom half.max: one window shown fullscreen (with or without a status bar, title and borders).Manual management emphasizes manual adjustment of layout and sizing with potentially more precise control, at the cost of more time spent moving and sizing windows.Ī number of common layout types appear in several tiling WMs, although the terminology varies somewhat. Management styleĭynamic management emphasizes automatic management of window layouts for speed and simplicity. Tip: External control can also be achieved by programs like xdotool which simulate keystrokes. Yes, with xmonad-contrib and an external manager N regions, 10 workspaces visible in any region
