# Why Ferese
|
|
|
|
Most Wayland desktops are assembled from separate programs such as a compositor, a bar, a notification daemon, a launcher, a lock screen with each having its own config and its own idea of how things should look. Ferese is built as one desktop. Window management and the shell share a single configuration, so personalizing it means changing one thing, not five.
|
|
|
|
## Choose how windows fit
|
|
|
|
Keep windows at useful widths and move through them horizontally with scrolling columns,
|
|
divide the screen into nested splits with tree tiling, or let individual windows float
|
|
alongside either layout. When you want to see how everything fits together, overview
|
|
brings your windows and workspaces into view.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Change the desktop together
|
|
|
|
Choose a theme in Settings and build on it with your own wallpaper, colors, font,
|
|
corners and motion, with changes applying across the desktop as you make them. Window
|
|
and shell corners have separate controls, so you can shape each to your liking.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
To give your shell corners a different radius, add:
|
|
|
|
```kdl
|
|
theme {
|
|
geometry {
|
|
shell-radius 16
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Explore [Configuration](configuration.md) for everything you can change, or follow
|
|
[Installation](installation.md) to try Ferese inside your current desktop with a nested
|
|
preview.
