subtle is a manual tiling window manager with a rather uncommon approach of tiling: Instead of relying on
       predefined  layouts,  subtle  divides the screen into a grid with customizeable slots (called gravities).
       For better understanding, the default config uses a 3x3 grid and maps each gravity  to  one  key  of  the
       numpad. With those keys, windows can be moved directly to the desired gravity - the same can be done with
       tagging rules in the config.

       Another  unique  concept is the strict tagging: Unlike other tiling window managers, subtle doesn´t allow
       weak tagging and always maps windows to virtual desktops (called views) with matching tags, regardless of
       the current active view.

       To get started with subtle just follow the install instructions, have a look in the INSTALL file  in  the
       tarball  or check if there is a package for your distribution. If no package is available and you want to
       supply one you are welcome.

       Next step after installing is configuring. subtle follows  the  XDG  specifications,  therefore  can  the
       default  system  config  be  found in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/subtle or in /etc/xdg/subtle. If you prefer a user
       based config just copy the system config to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/subtle or to $HOME/.config/subtle.

       If you update the config please check it with subtle-k first before starting subtle.

       Inside of subtle just press Win+Return to launch a xterm which usually starts at center gravity. Once you
       have a client you can play with gravites to get used  to  the  system.  It´s  really  easy  and  straight
       forward, just try the various combinations of Win+Numpad number.

subtle uses a loglevel system to distinguish between messages and to be able  to  turn  certain  messages
       off.  The  level  can be set with the -l or --level= options, multiple values are comma separated without
       any whitespace.
