FancyWM

FancyWM, like its name suggests, is a dynamic tiling window manager. What this app does, is help the user arrange more windows on the desktop, sort of like a puzzle, filling every inch of your screen with helpful information and data. This is especially handy for people who often find themselves using more than one window side-by-side. It's also less flexible in terms of switching from one arrangement to the other.

This application creates a custom grid, depending on your needs, to place various app windows within it. This means that if you'll be using a notepad, an internet source, and an e-book, you can have all three displayed at the same time on your screen, thus having the screen divided in such a way to have all three fit.

That's great, but what happens when you'd like to access your desktop for a short period. Since the grid is still in placement, you'll have to struggle to deactivate the arrangement, and activate it once more, once you no longer require access to the desktop environment.

Aside from creating these grids, these dynamic tiling layouts, one can use a machine's keyboard and mouse to execute the rearrangement options. Swap, resize, eliminate or add new entries to your arrangement by using a series of hotkey combinations and mouse movements. Horizontal panels are also a thing, and so is embedding a panel.

Accessing your virtual desktop can be made easier by using key combinations. Rules are equally important for this app. This means that you can set specific actions for certain apps. Have them be displayed in a certain way, or keep them in the background for whatever reason.

With resource consumption of under 1%, support for virtual and multiple desktop setups, customizable keybindings, and floating window capabilities embedded in its code, this app offers a lot of functions in a tiny, compact package. The end result will probably look to users like a highly customizable desktop environment for those who'd like to increase productivity when working with a PC.

FancyWM is a neat application that will most likely appeal to those who want workflow to be organized as possible on a PC, having each and every detail as close as possible, without the trouble of sorting and sifting through tons of materials.
