xmonad is a tiling window manager for X. Windows
are arranged automatically to tile the screen
without gaps or overlap, maximising screen use.
Window manager features are accessible from the
keyboard; a mouse is optional. xmonad is
extensible in Haskell, allowing for powerful
customisation. Custom layout algorithms, key
bindings, and other extensions may be written by
the user in config files. Layouts are applied
dynamically, and different layouts may be used on
each workspace. Xinerama is fully supported,
allowing windows to be tiled on several physical
screens.

Changes:
A general purpose replacement for “gaps” has been
adopted. Floating windows pop up on the current
screen by default. Locale support was added. Many
extensions were added, including the ability to
write your own configuration parsers.
