Hello!
I am playing with the ion3 source code and I added (in convert_geom)
the possibility to align the client window on the left or right edge
of the region if it is smaller than the region (because of sizehints,...).
Why: I wanted my XTerms to end up exactly on the right edge of my screen,
so I can "throw" the mouse against the right edge and it ends up on the
scrollbar. Makes scrolling (without wheel) much more practical, too bad that
the firefox scrollbar has a non-zero border (which I consider a usability bug).
My question is: What would be the best way to make this window alignment
configurable (left,right,center,...)? Should window gravity be used for that?
Or Lua?
I would happily expand my hack to something that's useful for other
people. I attach the darcs whatsnew of my current hack.
best regards
