Overview

About VXWM

vxwm represents a significantly enhanced version of dwm that maintains its lightweight nature while offering modular flexibility. Instead of manually applying patches, you can toggle pre-installed features directly in the configuration by switching values between 0 and 1, it is all manageable via modules.h.

The defining feature of vxwm is its implementation of infinite tags. While traditional tiling managers act like a slide projector, swapping one static view for another, vxwm treats the screen as a viewport over a vast, continuous canvas. Windows aren't hidden or layered; they exist on an infinite surface, and you simply move your perspective across it. You can slide your view to find more space, snap focus to a specific window, or return to the origin using the homecanvas bind. Even though this sounds complex, this isn't resource hungry and isn't hard to use.
