I will be surprised if someone can make a tiling WM in Windows
DWM has a windows port.
Looks like the built-in window organizing thing Win11 comes with. When you drag a window to the top edge a little menu pops open for tiling your open windows.
Doesn't work with every window though, but browsers and spotify can be arranged that way.
Tiling capabilities don't make a window manager a tiling Window manager. They would have to tile by default and when ever another app gets opened.
He literally just answered the question, why respond like you're correcting him?
I just misread the comment.
Because its not the same.
He never said it was.
Hasn't it already been done? https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi
There is GlazeWM (simlar to i3 - the only one that works properly on my win11 spyware), I use it daily for work (company laptop).
These are also: Komorebi (too buggy for me) Workspacer (like dwm) - used to crash alot before bug.n (dwm fork with the bar and same congih in ahk) - dead nowdays
How strict are we on what constitutes a tiling wm? I've swapped the shell on win XP .. not sure how 11 would fare
Screenshot?
Ah I wish, that was ages ago
I’ve used GlazeWM a bit before switching fully https://github.com/glazerdesktop/GlazeWM
That counts imho.
