now this is cool. you've found the layout hooks in e17 and are using them for evil, death, destruction and mayhem. well done! :) note - the hooks are still kind-of experimental, but i think they are all there and with enough care you can do anything you want. i'm using them for openmoko and illume to force apps to layout better on small screen devices. so i've ben excercising these for a while. the layout module is a very old and stupid example (whihc users REALLY shouldn't try. i'll probably remove it from e's src tree and just point to illume or your tiling module for more examples). i hope things like this let people turn their favorite wm (e) into anything they like. we can't make e everything to everyone "out of the box". BUT anyone can start extending it themselves with a bit of C knowledge and work. i do hope in the long-run lots of such modules are floating about and fill the gaps for many people. :) > Hi, > > as some of you might already know from IRC, I've been working on a tiling > module for e17 for about a month.
