screenrotate
Small script used to automatically change the various screen rotation
This program was originally written for the Lenovo flex 5. But if your laptop has iio-sensor-proxy installed and supports it, automatic rotation should work on any laptop. Since version 1.7 I use an ASUS ROG Flow. Therefore new features and patches will be available first on the asus_rog_flow branch. -

Overlayer
Window management utility for Windows; turn programs into overlays.
A lightweight window management utility to help get the most out of your limited screen area, by (safely) giving you the tools to: add transparency to a window, force a window to be topmost/appear on top of all others, as well as shortcut toggle-able click-through, or "ghost widows", if you like, where all clicks pass right through it as if it weren't there. Sometimes you may only need one of these settings, but combining them together effectively allows you to turn any program into an overlay. For example, your games, or perhaps some documentation you were reading: allowing it to persistently stay on top of another window, without blocking out the content thanks to transparency, while also not having to worry about accidentally clicking on it, thanks to click-through ghost windows, but being able to interact with it when you *choose* to -- what you're left with, is a window with all of the attributes that make a dedicated overlay, and overlay, but present in an ordinary window -

LeftWM Layouts
Library providing fixed but parameterized window layout calculations
This library encapsulates layout calculations from external dependencies and displays servers, so that it can be used by window managers for X.Org, Wayland, or whatever else. It's all about splitting up rectangles, the library has no concept of "windows". Some default layouts are provided, but custom layouts can be defined. Custom layout definitions allow some flexibility but are still fairly limited by design, as the target audience of this library is list-based / dynamic-tiling window managers (the likes of leftwm, dwm, ...) as opposed to manual tilers like i3. -

SnapToWindow
A cross-platform (windows, macOS) window management application
SnapToWindow is a user-experience utility likely aimed at enhancing window management on desktop environments by enabling users to “snap” application windows into predefined screen positions or layouts using keyboard shortcuts or mouse gestures. These kinds of tools are popular for improving productivity, especially on multi-monitor setups, by letting users quickly align and resize windows to halves, quarters, or other grid arrangements without manual dragging. While official project documentation isn’t available from search, the repository name and conventions imply a small, focused tool that hooks into the native windowing system (on Windows, macOS, or Linux) to detect active windows and reposition them based on user commands. It helps streamline workflows for developers, designers, and multitaskers who juggle many open windows and want consistent, repeatable layouts. -

SwayFX
SwayFX: Sway, but with eye candy
Sway is an incredible window manager, and certainly one of the most well established wayland window managers. However, it is restricted to only include the functionality that existed in i3. This fork ditches the simple wlr_renderer, and replaces it with our fx_renderer, capable of rendering with fancy GLES2 effects. -

Worm
A dynamic, tag-based window manager written in Nim
Worm is a tiny, dynamic, tag-based window manager written in the Nim language. It supports both a floating mode and master-stack tiling with gaps and struts. Worm will try to execute the file ~/.config/worm/rc on startup. Simply create it as a shell-script to execute your favorite applications with worm. (don't forget to make it executable). Worm does not have a built-in keyboard mapper, so you should use something like sxhkd. Please read the docs to understand how wormc works before writing your own sxhkdrc. -

berry
A healthy, byte-sized window manager
A healthy, bite-sized window manager written in C over the XLib library. Controlled via a powerful command-line client, allowing users to control windows via a hotkey daemon such as sxhkd or expand functionality via shell scripts. -

river
A dynamic tiling Wayland compositor
River is a dynamic tiling Wayland compositor with a flexible runtime configuration. River can either be run nested in an X11/Wayland session or directly from a tty using KMS/DRM. Simply run the river command. Usually this executable is a shell script invoking riverctl(1) to create mappings, start programs such as a layout generator or status bar, and perform other configuration. -

win95-dark
Dark win95 IceWM theme
Dark variant of the win95 theme for IceWM. This theme is, in general, just to be a good-looking, basic dark theme. IceWM has a default theme called win95 which is meant to look similar to the look of the Windows 95 operating system. I like that theme since it's pretty basic, but I wanted a dark version. Light colours are turned into darker colours, and vice versa. Tooltips are slightly yellowish in older Windows versions, so I made them dark turquoise, and title bars have a smoother blue colour. -

mkLink
Make multiple types of symbolic links from the context menu.

Normally advanced symbolic links, such as Hard Links and Directory Junctions can only be created through the command prompt. The following symbolic links can be created with mkLink. * Directory Symbolic Link * File Symbolic Link * Hard Link * Directory Junction -
