You'll have to substitute QApplication and maybe Xlib with xcb.

And you're aware that you're cheating your homework and thus basically
failed the class?

Re: Multiplexing general windows similar to terminator

[Mihai Darius]

Hi,
Well, from what I see, fluxbox is using a tabbed view, instead of a tiled 
(side-by-side) one, and that is not what I really wanted.However, if i3wm does 
indeed provide support for floating tiled windows (sorry for not using the 
correct naming for them before),my implementation idea does indeed seem to be 
redundant and complicating it further to provide some improvements wouldfurther 
increase the workload required and reduce my chances of success.
Thank you for your advice,Darius

Hi Darius,

i3wm still gives you windows, but I think the word you are looking for
is "floating". i3 offers floating window support that is automatically
used for things like "save as" dialogs and such, see [1] for the entry
in the guide that also tells you what key combination you can use to
toggle any window floating or tiled.

I'm still convinced that fluxbox can be what you need, so maybe you just
didn't see this page [2] on the website that has screenshots of what I mean?

[^1] https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#_floating
[^2] http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/features/tabs.php

Hope that helps!

Re: Multiplexing general windows similar to terminator

[Mihai Darius]

Hello again and a happy new year!
I've been looking a bit into both of them and honestly fluxbox just does not 
really seem to be what I'm looking for.i3wm on the other hand is very similar 
to what I want to implement, but seems to abandon windows altogether and 
stretch the overall image to the entire screen.My idea was that the end result 
should be multiple windows in the same tile, but the tile itself would be a 
window, and the way visual studio does it looks nice.
That being said, this is supposed to be an university project and will have to 
be done in a rather short time (around 2-2.5 months of "full time" work) 
andfailing to get a result in time is not really an option. The more important 
question would be if there's any chance of creating a working (hopefully 
decent) wmin such a short time considering my knowledge in wm programming is 
lacking at best (overall programming is decent with some kernel knowledge).
Hopefully the last part did not make anyone angry and some feedback on the 
matter can be provided.
Thanks in advance,Darius

I believe fluxbox has had tabbed windows for quite some time, and in i3
you can also put multiple windows in the same tile and tab between them.
Maybe those could help you get what you want?

Best,

Re: Multiplexing general windows similar to terminator

Hi,
It's been a while now, and deciding was hard (basically had other stuff on my 
mind lately), but I think I'll have some red pills. Probably will need more 
than one so they can act fast.If you could recommend some good documentation, 
it would be great! I will most likely not be able to start doing this for a 
couple more weeks, but having some starting point will provide some peace of 
mind.

read up on building a window manager. :)

you take the blue pill, story ends. you wake up in your bed and avoid the hell
that is window management, and believe whatever you want to believe. you take
the red pill, you stay in window manager land, and i show you how deep the
rabbit hole goes.

Multiplexing general windows similar to terminator

[Mihai Darius]

Hi,
I was thinking about creating a module that allows users to unite graphical 
windows in one window, similar to terminator. The end result should look be 
similar to how Microsoft Visual Studio manages its windows (e.g. Solution 
Explorer, Output, Code, etc.).
I am not sure whether anything similar already exists (I've been searching on 
Google, but I've found only terminal multiplexers), and if the implementation 
should be an X-server module.Any feedback and help would be greatly appreciated 
(especially a starting point for the implementation).
