Hey, anybody still using Enlightenment?

"After a bit of digging, Szewczyk determined that E16 had implemented its window-title truncation algorithm without an iteration limit. Without that limit, the middle-ellipsis search could bounce endlessly between truncation points, freezing the desktop while it tried to settle on a title."

"what if you had an extra mouse button to manipulate windows movement" #ux #uxdesign

from this video: https://youtu.be/1fZTOjd_bOQ?si=rlMZArPxx5QpyDXg&t=1745

well, obviously. That is why, for almost 2 decades now, I always have a mouse with extra buttons and always map the super/win-key to one of the side buttons and always configure my #windowmanager to use the super/win key to manipulate windows.

But I just realized, many won't ever have considered this trick.

#gnome #paperwm

Was mache ich da? Ich verbessere weiter meine #Xmonad Konfiguration!

Für Gaming kann ich nun mit Mod+F das Dock ausblenden. Was sonst noch zu tun ist, ist dass ich mein Esc+Capslock-Swap rückgängig machen muss. Einige Games nutzen Capslock.

#Linux #windowmanager

My imagination:🙊

In future,
any terminal, browser, terminal multiplexers, window managers all will have a common UX pattern like
1) Vertical or horizontal tabs
2) tiling, scrollable tiling(like niri)
etc etc for a similar UX for easier engagement and management.

Taking the features of one from the other will bring this soon❤️

Is there a #compositor / #WindowManager that lets me display apps with different GTK themes displayed on which display (eg. external monitor) it's displayed on?

I recently started using Aerospace, a tiling window manager for #macOS. Here’s my config: https://gist.github.com/EReaso/9bef982db1790a2d80f0f4a4b1f8b7a7
