Messing around, I've gotten the impression that Morphic doesn't really have the concept of a window manager. I've even played with the "Tiling Window Manager", but it isn't really a *manager* in the usual sense, it's more of a collection of shortcuts for manually resizing windows.
Without having dove into the implementation yet, it feels like Morphic is more a system where each window paints itself where it wants to be, and there isn't a centralized controller or manager of windows. Is that accurate? On Fri, May 15, 2015 at 6:58 PM Nicolai Hess <nicolaih...@web.de> wrote: > > > 2015-05-16 0:52 GMT+02:00 Avdi Grimm <a...@avdi.org>: > >> Hey folks!
