I was messing around with the layouts today and one of the things I really like about stack/columns layout is that they effectively act as a tabbing layout to have windows side by side but in stacks of a certain category. The problem I have with them is that you can only identify what is in the stack by either cycling through the windows or splitting the stack. The first is a little time-consuming and the second can behave poorly if you have many windows in the stack and/or the windows don't take kindly to size changes (e.g. libreoffice in my case). Treetab is a great layout, but I feel that it is limited by only having the max layout as its main layout. I think the combination of stack/columns and TreeTab such that there can be a number of stacks as well as a panel on the side with the list of names of each opened window in each stack would be fantastic. My guess for the simplest way to execute this would be to add an option in stack/columns layout to display a panel on the side for the window names, but alternatively the Treetab layout could supposedly use the stack/column layout instead of the Max layout for each sections. I guess I could try and script something in the slice layout so that the script constantly runs and provides the list of windows in each stack, but I think this would be more feasible to be integrated into on of the existing layouts.
