How is Swayfx? I am on Sway and it is perfect for my workflow, I’m just misding drop shadows from Picom. I know we have hyprland but it is way too fancy for me because I dont need most of those fancy features.
swayfx is the same as sway, just with some extra configurations options for things like shadows, blur, rounded corners, etc. pretty much sway + some eye candy (doesn’t have animations yet, though that’s on the roadmap)
I dig the kde setup. Im more of a gnome addict, and i thought it was orginally mate. I like how simple and non-flashy it is thats the thing i usally dont like about KDE is how overly flashy and annoying poping up every second Kwallet.
I think mixing horizontal and vertical is impractical, because it will mess up the whole layout once you resize a single window, but on one axis the concept is actually sound. There exists PaperWM for gnome 3 which is basically just this.
If you set your X server size bigger than your monitor size you can already do that. You can also move windows partially off the screen, so e.g. only the left edge is visible.
But I personally don’t see the use case. I can’t think of a time where the physical layout of different programs would be so important as to require a 2D canvas. Usually the connections between programs are not in a 2D plane, but instead by concept or task.
For example I may have a browser open, and want a terminal and an IDE next to it. How exactly these windows are placed is of no concern, I just need them to be visible at the same time . And that’s something I can achieve with a normal tiling wm already.
But maybe I’m just not creative enough to desire more complex window layouts XD
