SUBTLE(1) SUBTLE(1) NAME subtle - a grid-based manual tiling window manager SYNOPSIS subtle OPTIONS DESCRIPTION subtle is a manual tiling window manager with a rather uncommon ap- proach of tiling: Instead of relying on predefined layouts, subtle di- vides the screen into a grid with customizeable slots (called gravi- ties). For better understanding, the default config uses a 3x3 grid and maps each gravity to one key of the numpad. With those keys, windows can be moved directly to the desired gravity - the same can be done with tagging rules in the config. Another unique concept is the strict tagging: Unlike other tiling win- dow managers, subtle doesn't allow weak tagging and always maps windows to virtual desktops (called views) with matching tags, regardless of the current active view. OPTIONS • -c, --config=CONFIG Load config • -d, --display=DISPLAY Connect to DISPLAY • -h, --help Show this help and exit • -k, --check Check config syntax • -n, --no-randr Disable RandR extension (required for Twinview) • -r, --replace Replace current window manager • -s, --sublets=DIR Load sublets from DIR • -v, --version Show version info and exit • -l, --level=LEVEL[,LEVEL] Set logging levels • -D, --debug Print debugging messages LOGLEVELS subtle uses a loglevel system to distinguish between messages and to be able to turn certain messages off. The level can be set with the -l or --level= options, multiple values are comma separated without any whitespace. • subtle -l ruby,subtlext • subtle --level=ruby,subtlext Default levels: • warnings Warning messages • sublet Sublet warnings • error Error messages • deprecated Deprecation warnings Debugging levels: • events Information about handled events • ruby Ruby debugging messages • xerror X11 error messages • subtlext Debugging messages of subtlext • subtle Subsystem messages of subtle • debug General debugging messages GETTING STARTED To get started with subtle just follow the install instructions, have a look in the INSTALL file in the tarball or check if there is a package for your distribution. If no package is available and you want to sup- ply one you are welcome. Next step after installing is configuring. subtle follows the XDG spec- ifications, therefore can the default system config be found in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/subtle or in /etc/xdg/subtle. If you prefer a user based config just copy the system config to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/subtle or to $HOME/.config/subtle. If you update the config please check it with subtle -k first before starting subtle. Inside of subtle just press Win+Return to launch a xterm which usually starts at center gravity. Once you have a client you can play with gravites to get used to the system. It's really easy and straight for- ward, just try the various combinations of Win+Numpad number.
