hiya! so recently i've started working on a x11 window manager called tatami, which is inspired from the japanese tatami mats which looks like tiles. i'm planning to make this as a tabbed tiling window manager, similarly to i3wm's tabbed view. i picked that flavor mainly because i use tabbed view a lot in my development setup, which consists of plain i3wm running on arch. here is what i got working until now, it's kinda basic but it took decent chunk of time to understand how x11's protocol and text rendering works. i'm not exactly sure how to embed images on spacehey, so please open the following links

currently, it just supports basic keybindings to open app launcher (super+D) and closing windows (super+Q) while respecting WM_DELETE_WINDOW protocol, which is used by apps which such a confirmation window whenever you try to close it like text editors asking you whether you want to save the file before exiting.
i really want to improve on the window title bar and create this bezel like effect - https://files.catbox.moe/r1ezv7.png. it looks so cool!
anyways, here is the source code if someone wants to check it out - github.com/0xmukesh/tatami
