This project is still in early development; There will likely be bugs and breaking changes, including changes to the config format.
- Easy to configure with a dynamically generated default config
- Animated transitions
- Themeable with hot loaded css
- Extensible with third party Rust modules and layout managers
- multi-monitor support
