Hello,
Does an alternative window manager for pharo exist? For some reasons I always end up with a tangled mess of windows when using the default one. My biggest gripe is that new windows tend to open on top of other windows, blocking the view even if there is still empty space elsewhere. I watched this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx0eNaGzAZU ) about the i3 window manager for linux and how it paves the screen with the windows to optimise screen space and make things look less messy, and was wondering whether something like that existed for pharo. Cheers, Thomas |

It doesn't solve the problem of windows opening on top of each other, but makes it easy to position them: Metacello new baseline: 'TilingWindowManager'; repository: 'github://Pharophile/TilingWindowManager:master/packages'; load. If there's another window manager that is similar to i3 or Awesome I'd love to hear about it. :-) Cheers, Alistair |
I need to give it some love as the keybindings are all acting bad. Aerosnap style stuff to be added as well. There is an issue with integrating the world menu due to morphic changes. Do I disabled it. I'll give it a shot for 6.1 as it is now a 5 0 thing. Phil On Nov 10, 2017 22:36, "Alistair Grant" <[hidden email]> wrote: Hi Thomas, |
