Subject description: minimalistic window manager		  
BadWM is an minimalistic window manager.
FEATURES:
No window decorations but a simple 1 pixel border.
No icons.
No menu.
Good keyboard control (includes repositioning and vertical/horizontal/full maximisation).
Configureable through a config file.
Virtual desktops.
Small binary size.
High usability.
Intellegent window placement
Intellegent window resizing
Snap to edge.
Snap to border.
Multihead support.

Code:
 The input focus follows the mouse pointer.

       You can  use  the  mouse  to  manipulate  windows  either  by  directly
       click/dragging the 1 pixel border or holding down the left <ALT> key to
       click/drag from anywhere in client window.

       The controls are:
       Left mouse button:       Move window.
       Right mouse button:      Resize window.
       Middle mouse button:     Lower window.

       You  can  switch   the   resize   and   lower   buttons   through   the
       flip_resizelower setting in the global section of the config file.

       The  keyboard  controls are used by holding down the left <ALT> key and
       pressing a key. These combining keys can be found  and  edited  in  the
       ~/.BadWMrc file.  Default keys for the available functions are:

       +Return   Spawn new terminal window.
       +Tab      Switch to next window.
       +t        Move window to top-left.
       +z        Move window to top-right.
       +g        Move window to bottom-left.
       +h        Move window to bottom-right.
       +Down     Lower window.
       +x        Maximise window.
       +c        Maximise window horizontally.
       +v        Maximise window vertically.
       +r        Reloads your config from ~/.BadWMrc
       +0 - 9    Switch virtual desktop.
       +Right    Switch one workspace up.
       +Left     Switch one workspace down.
       +f        Fix/Unfix window (toggle visibility on all workspaces).
       +k        Kill window.

       To move a window from one workspace to another you have two options:
       fix the window, change the workspace and unfix it.
       drag  the  window  out of the left/right edge of your screen to move it
       one workspace down/up.
       You can also use the mouse wheel to switch workspaces up  and  down  if
       the pointer is not over a window.

       The default colors for the one pixel border in BadWM are:
       "goldenrod" for the foreground window,
       "gray50" for background windows,
       "blue" for fixed windows.
       You can change them in the ~/.BadWMrc file.
       You will need to restart BadWM then.
       For  all  other  settings  in the config file you can reload the config
       (left <ALT> key + r) to make them effective.

       To exit from BadWM you have to kill the process.


if you need xprop and xkill
