*X Obstinate Asymmetric Tiler*
* Designed for wide screens, including multi-head support.
* Static tiling; you get just three fixed tiles and windows never move automatically.
* Static tiling; you choose three fixed tiles at build-time.
* Windows never move between tiles or monitors automatically.
* Bare minimum EWMH to support panels and [simpleswitcher](https://github.com/seanpringle/simpleswitcher).
* A few keyboard controls for moving, focusing, cycling, closing, and finding windows.
* Transient windows and dialogs are centered on parent, not tiled.
