Hey all.
I was examing my window placement the other day.. I'm using
smart placement (rows), top to bottom, left to right.
For the most part, this is pretty sane when I have lots of
screen space. On my laptop, when I've got my big monitor
hooked up, my rxvt windows tile themselves

right to left and top to bottom window placement. on an empty workspace i open a new
window. it's placed in the correct position. i shade it and open another new window,
and it's placed

Just noticing a small bug (?) - even with full maximisation disabled,
windows are still being placed under the toolbar (it's at the
top-center). It wouldn't be such a problem, except it means that the
titlebar (ie the easy way to move a window) is obscured by the toolbar.

You're describing something like larswm, or maybe ion. I've been playing
with larswm... it's actually pretty nice. Actually, larswm has all of
these features.
But man, is it hard to get used to. ^_^

Hi out there,
i'd like to propose a few enhancements to window placement
in blackbox:
1. Fully automatic mode ("Grid mode")
Sometimes I'm really not in a mood to touch my mouse and
move windows around. It'd be cool if blackbox had an option
"no overlap
Heya,
Here's another patch, this one adds a new window placement mode called 'Under Mouse'.
This mode is listed on the configuration menu, so there's no funny ./configure
options, just select it from the menu.
One thing to note, there's nothing handling window
