Two weeks ago I had my screen at work upgraded to a 23″ Dell. I figured that I had to find a way to take advantage of the “screen real estate”. After a bit of google searching I ended up choosing xmonad, a tiling window manager. I can see the difference a couple of days later: I have no more tens of windows opened in one taskbar. I’m using workspaces and all open windows are visible in each workspace. I’m using the mouse less than before since windows automatically place themselves on the screen and I can manipulate them with the keyboard
It wasn’t easy getting used to xmonad’s setup configuration. But once you understand what’s happening you realize the possibilities. Here is my configuration.

Will explain a bit more when I find the time.
