windows were never meant to overlap, the desktop was never meant to be looked at. do not fear the real tiling window manager. sooner or later, you'll make the switch.

[-] Shikadi@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

That looks like it was annoying to place the windows

[-] TableCoffee@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

KDE has some built in tiling functions now. No where near what the tiling WM's are but you're able to define a layout and snap them into place.

[-] Shikadi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well that's cool, though for me the advantage of a tiling window manager is how dynamic it is. I can switch desktops, switch windows, resize windows, toggle full screen, change layouts, and move windows all with quick keystrokes or key+mouse combinations. If I had to choose my layout ahead of time I'd be sad, because what I want on my screen and where I want it is constantly changing

Snap them manually into place everytime you boot your machine, this is worsen than stacking! I am using it right now because I haven't set up a #twm on my desktop yet. Its ridiculous.

Looks amazing, from a person scared of "real" tiling window managers to another lol. Also, what is that dashboard with shortcuts called, again? I swear I've seen it before as a Heimdall/Homer alternative but can't recall for the life of me...

That's the one, thanks!

real tiling managers are awesome.

I love AwesomeWM as a window manager. It's pretty easy, even for a complete beginner. I highly recommend.

Would you be willing to share your wallpaper? I really like it.

[-] TableCoffee@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

The wallpaper came from a paid collection from the "Backdrops" app on iOS and Android. The collection is called "Optic Odyssey".

[-] skizzles@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I get "No Results Found" when. Searching for that in the backdrops app.

Edit: Nevermind I found it. But that specific wallpaper doesn't seem to be there for me. Any change you know what mission number that one is?

[-] PolarisFx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

Its there, it's under premium.

[-] skizzles@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yup, I found it but I don't see that wallpaper in the connection.

[-] PolarisFx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Pretty sure it's Mission 31

Edit: So the one showing is the phone version, I paid for pro but still can't find the desktop version. Though it says full size is 2115x3600

[-] TableCoffee@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ah! I'm so sorry it was actually the "Cosmic Journeys" collection. And it's number 91 in the collection. I feel terrible if a few of you went and bought the wrong one. I had bought the Optic one as well for my phone so got them mixed up.

[-] skizzles@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

No worries, I have Play Pass so the premium collections were free, except the Cosmic Journeys one.

Looks like I'll be grabbing that one.

Thanks for following up and letting us know!
