There is an extension which worked just fine before KWin > broke API. An extension for stacking manager. I don't really understand you. KWin is a stacking window manager. We will never be able to support tiling like a tiling window manager. A script is a good way to emulate it, but it can never have the same feeling like a real tiling window manager. And we certainly will not include this script. We created the scripting API to allow 3rd party scripts. It was not created to include every possible script in KWin. If something broke in our API, please report a bug about what broke. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
