From kwin Tue Oct 13 06:50:05 2009 From: Nikhil Marathe Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2009 06:50:05 +0000 To: kwin Subject: RFC on Kwin-tiling patch Message-Id: X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kwin&m=125541591525331 Hi all, (The previous message was blocked due to a large attachment size ) I have created a diff of kwin-tiling@1034555 vs trunk@1034562. It can be downloaded here http://22bits.exofire.net/downloads/kwin-tiling-1034562-trunk.diff I'm looking for volunteers willing to try it out and report on any bugs found. At this point you may mail feature requests too, but I won't work upon them immediately. When reporting bugs please let me know exactly what you were doing, along with if you were using the mouse or keyboard ( for moving/resizing ) and attach the stack trace too. thanks. I will be having some extra time the week after next, so I'm hoping to fix it up so that it can get into trunk before the October 24th deadline. So a few things you might want to try/know specific to tiling: * Most important! Use Alt+Shift+F11 will toggle tiling * Xinerama support isn't there * Options can be found in Settings -> Window Behaviour -> Advanced * Window/Application specific settings are also present * Each virtual desktop has its own layout * Shortcuts can be found in the Global shortcuts list under Tiling: cycle layouts, toggle floating, change focus and move * Moving across desktops and resizing is supported. The resizing algorithm is a bit shaky right now, but until I figure out a better one ( or you guys suggest something ), I'll stick with it. * Transients and dialogs aren't handled specially for now * Problems with plasma-workspace might show up when you click on the desktop etc. * Right now tiles aren't deleted almost anywhere, so it does leak memory I'll try to reply to any queries ASAP, but I'm on an exam schedule right now :) Thanks, Nikhil _______________________________________________ kwin mailing list kwin@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kwin
