Hi, it's me again, the guy trying to make KDE with KWin a smooth experience with this script. In these latest versions, I've managed to add several features to customize your tiling experience.

New Features

You can now configure window priority based on the width, height, and position of the tiles.
You can also select a default layout that is set when creating a new virtual desktop.

Some of you may wonder why this script exists when there are plugins like Krohnkite. The main difference is that Fluid tile uses the native KWin API, which ensures compatibility and integration of the script with KDE, simplifying development and adapting to future changes in KDE.

It is gradually growing, and I would like you to take a look at it to hear your opinion and if you have any more ideas to implement. I'm listening!

Hey, I've been using it for about a week on Bazzite and I'm really enjoying it. Great work.

Thanks mate, If you miss any feature or have any problem, let me know

I am actually very interested in a scrolling window tiling, like:

PaperWM (Gnome Extension) (2nd best example)
Karousel (Kwin Script)
Niri (wayland compositor wm) (best example)

Would it be viable to spin up something similar ?

Hi mate, your proposal is very interesting and it's pretty cool but it would involve writing my own tiling engine, the idea of Fluid tile is that it continues to work with native KWin tile manager

Right now I'm working on:

Wiki to resolve doubts
Create your own pre custom layout when a virtual desktop is created
Do not leave blank spaces when arranging windows, this will be done by extending existing windows
New UI when you move windows with the mouse, to put them on the tiles, similar to KZones

When I have more time I will add more things

Yeah, I figured it would be a colossal effort, but asked anyways in case I was wrong in my assumption.

Why don't you use those alternatives instead of Fluid tile if you want scroll mode?

I'm a happy Bazzite user, so I can't use Niri, also I fear about gaming with their compositor.
I prefer KDE over Gnome, so PaperWM is out.
Karousel needs much more work before it becomes as usable as the alternatives.
