Description-en: manual tiling window manager for X11
In herbstluftwm the layout is based on splitting frames into
subframes which can be split again or can be filled with windows,
Tags (or workspaces or virtual desktops or ...) can be added/removed
at runtime. Each tag contains an own layout and exactly one tag is
viewed on each monitor. The tags are monitor independent.
.
It is configured at runtime via ipc calls from herbstclient. So the
configuration file is just a script which is run on startup.
