Re: What does your desktop look like?
Could someone please explain why anyone using a tiling WM would want gaps? I thought the whole point was to have no wasted space. The only logical reason I can think of is to keep the correct display ratio for a window. Getting rid of the infamous golden ration issues of the likes of dwm. No more squashing xclock in to an oval.

It just somehow looks much better to me, dunno why, also the gaps aren't that big so no much difference.oswaldkelso wrote:Could someone please explain why anyone using a tiling WM would want gaps?

Aesthetics. Guess it's nice to see even a glimpse of the wallpaper you've so carefully chosen.oswaldkelso wrote:Could someone please explain why anyone using a tiling WM would want gaps? I thought the whole point was to have no wasted space.
Personally, I think it's like painting flames and changing rims on your $500 pickup truck from last century.

@ kopper
Oh. I always thought if I wanted to look at your wallpaper I'd just switch to an empty workspace or open and image viewer. I guess it's sort of like having a pretty tool bar all around your windows, minus the useful stuff like paths and buttons etc. Looks like a prime candidate for the CSD team.

Re: What does your desktop look like?
I think you both are overextending ABIT , painting flames and changing rims on your $500 pickup truck is tasteless and lame, while small gaps aren't
Also i am not using i3 only to save space, but to have the windows position nicely automaticly.

Re: What does your desktop look like?
i wonder what i3's main developers would have to say about that.
for many years they have been developing a window manager extremely high in functionality, and extremely low in looks...
here the i3-gaps maintainer says:

here the i3-gaps maintainer says:
As it stands, gaps is completely out of the question anyway because they break window decorations, which is a big no-no.
However, even if that were to be fixed, gaps violate the idea behind i3 which is maximizing screen space. Gaps will stay a fork, most likely forever.
On a side note it should be mentioned that the way gaps are implemented is really more of a hack. Yes, it works fine (mostly), but that's still another compelling argument against merging it.

And i care what developers think about it ? are you 15 years old ? if i want gaps i will use gaps, simple.debiman wrote:i wonder what i3's main developers would have to say about that.

I use Linux because i can customize it how i want, and not use everything the developers way.

This thread is for showing desktops, not discussions about them. If you need to discuss it,
http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=136328
is a better thread for that.

Re: What does your desktop look like?
bspwm is great for gaps, they can even be configured on-the-fly:
See https://suckless.org/rocks for a list of applications that behave "correctly" in respect of window management

There is no "golden ratio issue" with dwm — most tiling wm users do not want to run programs that require a specific aspect ratio for their GUI.oswaldkelso wrote:Getting rid of the infamous golden ration issues of the likes of dwm. No more squashing xclock in to an oval.

But sxhkd is the best keybinding program ever, why did that not work?pawRoot wrote:i couldn't configure my keybinds same as on i3, for example Win+R to resize, Win+left arrow to move the window etc...

EDIT: you also need xdo to move the windows
Also, if you're going to chat here please post some scrots as well because people come here expecting eye-candy rather than walls of text...
