![Screenshot of my desktop](https://www.gitlab.com/dwt1/dotfiles/raw/master/.screenshots/dotfiles07.png)
A full-featured, pure-Python tiling window manager
# Features
* Simple, small and extensible. It's easy to write your own layouts,
widgets and commands.
* Configured in Python.
* Command shell that allows all aspects of Qtile to be managed and
inspected.
* Complete remote scriptability - write scripts to set up workspaces,
manipulate windows, update status bar widgets and more.
* Qtile's remote scriptability makes it one of the most thoroughly
unit-tested window managers around.
