Basically a simple python script which does tiling on any windowmanager (Perfectly on pekwm and openbox. Partly on compiz due to the fact that compiz says it has a single desktop even if there are 4 virtual desktops, which means all the windows you have will be tiled). It uses wmctrl to get the info and manage the windows. Bind it to a key or to autowhatever-on-window-creation-hook. Currently options are simple - The basic tiling layout . 1 Main + all other at the side. left,right - Does the new windows7 ish style of sticking to the sides. swap - Will swap the active window to master column cycle - Cycle all the windows in the master pane vertical - Simple vertical tiling horizontal - Simple horizontal tiling maximize - Maximize the active window/ for openbox which doesn't permit resizing of max windows max_all - Maximize all windows On first run it will create a config file ~/.stilerrc. Modify the values to suit your window decorations/Desktop padding. If you need other layouts modify get_simple_tile
