Actually, looking at your code, I'd prefer to insert weights support into adaptile... At the moment, to chose a window height, I divide the remaining height in a column by the number or client yet to resize (line 56), this could easily be changed to take into account window weights. I started by trying to add hints support to tile, but I eventually saw that the way tile did it's work was not adapted at all, so I wrote a brand new tiling function which is, IMHO, conceptually cleaner. As your code seems to be very similar to tile, I think trying to add hinting support in it will lead to the same problems I had. If I understood your code well, most of the work is actually out of vile.lua, so we could keep all that. Even better, we could add to awful a function to get window weight independant from the tiling algorithm so that this could be used by other compatible layouts. What do you think ? Did I miss something on how Vile works ? Cheers, Mawww. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
