Yes, this is going in the right direction. I didn't want to have static layouts. When there is a single window only, it should use the full screen (if the application can make use of it, not all apps scale in size). However I still stick to wmii-3.1, because swapping is gone in wmii-4 and I didn't hear of any great replacement for it. Still, with the column rules, the arrangement of windows merely depends on the order of creation. You can't do anything else on windows of identical class/title/... but if I have a working arrangement of e.g. editor, shell and...maybe gnuplot I'd like to have it the same way, no matter in which order I start them. Handling this, will be somewhat complicated, I know, it would involve window class and selected view to define a preferential placement. No default algorithm will ever be able to do this automatically, this needs customization, which could happen in the way of a "for this view with these windows store the arrangement in some rules" command (it needs a hint where to put new clients of course). Once you have enough of these stored, you have useful dynamicness. Up to now the arrangement already is dynamic, but often enough cumbersome.
