<br>
I've like to announce another feature that I've implemented recently:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/-/merge_requests/59" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfwm4/-/merge_requests/59</a><br>
<br>
Window fences:<br>
---------------<br>
<br>
* user can define "fences", regions on screen (via xfconf) where clients<br>
are maximized into (instead of whole monitor)<br>
* fences optionally can be configured to auto-maximize the window if is<br>
moved in<br>
* behavior outside any fences (or when no fence configured) remains<br>
unchanged<br>
* current fence is communicated by window property<br>
* clients can switch to another fence (or outside) updating the the<br>
window property<br>
* initial fence can be configured by window policy<br>
<br>
Rationale: allows somewhat similar behavior like tiling, but with more<br>
flexibility:<br>
<br>
* mixed w/ floating windows<br>
* fence regions can defined arbitrarily and by fixed geometry<br>
* easy to configure automatically w/o manual intervention (CASC, auto-<br>
provisioners, ...)<br>
* clients can be put into certain regions (w/o extra client side<br>
support)<br>
* via policies (see my previous mail), this can be defined via window<br>
class, title, window type, etc<br>
<br>
Further work (planned / WIP):<br>
<br>
* auto-provisioning of fences by monitor or split-monitor<br>
* dynamic reconfiguration (eg. on monitor failure or replacement), incl. <br>
* auto-repositioning (on fence reconfiguration)<br>
* fence switch via window menu<br>
* optional permanent border markings<br>
* interactive configuration UI<br>
<br>
