at least with a "please keep/restore both" :-). `togglebar` mainly to have a "real full screen presentation mode", `mwfact' since it _never_ will be right all the time for all users if hardcoded. the latter (having `mwfact') seems quite important to me. I like especially the ease of use. cf., e.g., with `ion3' where such adjustments are quite a pain in the back (first activate "resize"; than adjust all 4 borders if you like -- achieving the simple equivalent of `mwfact' takes much more time/effort). of course if you think of completely different strategies to manipulate the geometry (instead of removing the ability to do so), forget immediately what I've said (apart from: keep ease of use). and contrary to the initial post I'd say `monocle' is very useful indeed. but 'vertical tile' does not make sense, at least not on a single monitor, not for me in any case. (by- the-by, if 'vertical' is the 'new' tile and 'horizontal' is the standard tile, I'd say the names are swapped: in the standard tile the windows are vertically tiled one above the other, so why is this the 'horizontal tiling' ...) joerg
