Some nice points in that: - Auto resizing windows as they're dragged to the corner. I'd love to see this implemented as an advanced user feature with a control key to enable it. - Snapping applications together. Something that's been suggested before and that I think is a great idea. - Tabbing applications. I've seen this before, but never in conjunction with snapping applications. As a whole, I think the concept is potentially huge.
I put a page together on the Designer Playground a while back bringing together some of the ideas that have been discussed on window tiling. I've just added your links to it: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/DesignerPlayground/WindowTiling Ross On Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 8:13 PM, hills <[email protected]> wrote: > Please read description of the first project, that is "A more manageable > multi-window interface", from this email: > http://www.freelists.org/post/haiku-development/Two-successful-final-year-projects > > Be sure to watch the screencast: > http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~lutteroth/videos/stack-and-tile.html > > This project was done for Haiku Operating System, but I think it can be > successful in GNOME too.
