<div>Need a brief 'Advantages:, Disadvantages:' blurb for each WM. [[User:Misfit138|Misfit138]] 18:27, 3 January 2009 (EST)<br />
<br />
I'm working on Misfit138's point above, but could somebody add something on Ion3? I've never used it, and don't know much about it. --[[User:SamC|SamC]] 20:51, 3 January 2009 (EST)<br />
<br />
I'm going to add several other tiling WMs once I get all the information about them for the comparison table [[User:cdwillis|cdwillis]]:<br />

<br />
<br />
I would avoid adding EvilWM, as it's not tiling. --[[User:SamC|SamC]] 18:59, 19 March 2009 (EDT)<br />
<br />
It's not really correct to say that Ratpoison, Stumpwm and Musca does not support system tray. It's really easy to set them to use panels like lxpanel or something like this.<br />
Also, wmii is not strongly manual window manager. It's in some reasone closer to dynamic ones.<br />
<br />
Musca for now can use usual config file ~/.musca_start that is much like ratpoison's one.<br />
<br />
The words "dynamic" vs "manual" are confusing, since all tiling wms by definition are dynamic (change one window, and bordering windows change). a better word imho, would be "automatic" vs "manual", as in automatic window placement in contrast to manual window placement.</div>Nivhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=Talk:Comparison_of_tiling_window_managers&diff=101837Talk:Comparison of tiling window managers2010-04-03T16:29:31Z<p>Niv: </p>
