Re: Tiling wm with simple configuration?

xmonad-light seem to be the exact thing i want, it just need to mature more!

Hmm, the best way for that to happen would be to try it out, and then complain about stuff that's missing from the simple configuration: adding that option (and fifty others) to xmonad-light would complicate the configuration, in which case you'd be better off writing the configuration in haskell (which isn't too bad, mind you).

Re: Tiling wm with simple configuration?

I am in the market for this too, I don't have the time to redo my config in a new language/syntax every time the awesome developer feels like it. Not sure what exactly was wrong with the human readable, simple configuration it had, but then again I never took much advantage of the widgets and such. Maybe it is better for those people, seems so at least, but it left the people who just wanted a simple easy to work with tiling wm like me in the dust.

Xmonad.
It's not the simplest, but it doesn't change all the time

Re: Tiling wm with simple configuration?

Actually looking at echinus, but I've been keeping xmonad in mind. Considering going back to dwm too.

Re: Tiling wm with simple configuration?

I left dwm because it kept breaking my config for most of the updates.  After about 3 changes I switch to xmonad.  Xmonad, on the other hand, is quite difficult to configure but I never broke my config file in Xmonad.
