On this feature the animation is useful, so your eyes can track the windows to the new position, and don't you make fool trying to figure where they are. The people that find this feautre useful are OSX users afaik, I have seen designers and so use this feature in an intensive way for switching between windows of the same application or between all the windows instead of using the alt-tab way. ~ I think this is an useful feature, but maybe the better layout for toggling ~ these floating windows would be a rectangular layout or something like that ~ This patch will imply to also add the 'keep-clients-size' patch. rectangular layout? Something like this http://www.freaknet.org/alpt/src/patches/rwm/screenshot-rwm-small.jpg ? yup , is the only logical use I can find for this layout xD Note that the current implementation in awm considers also the focus order of the windows: the biggest window is the current focused, the second biggest is the second in the focus cycle, etc. thats a more intelligent way to replace the animation functionality. SO it's more logical. On exposee, you will never know where he places the windows and you have to follow them with the eyes and watch around to find the right one. -- :wq!

Re: [dwm] On the fly tiling for floating layout
This idea is quite similar to the Exposee, which is a nice hack for fixing the overlapping problem of the floating layout. I think it's cool, so it's similar to the alt-space (toggle-floating-all-clients). I think this is an useful feature, but maybe the better layout for toggling these floating windows would be a rectangular layout or something like that. This patch will imply to also add the 'keep-clients-size' patch. --pancake On Thu, 4 Oct 2007 18:19:49 +0200 Jan Christoph Ebersbach [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thu 04-10-2007 17:56, Alpt wrote: By pressing (right)Crtl+(left)Alt+Tab all the windows of the current Y are ordered with the tiling algorithm of dwm.
