[SOLVED]Dwm resize individual tiles.

n0dix · 2010-01-29 23:09:23

Can i resize tiles individually? I tried to do, but if i resize the first tile, the second is always resize too.

If it is not possible, which tiling wm allow this feature?

You can do that in floating window mode. Kind of defeats the purpose of a 'tiling' window manager if you could do that in tiling mode

musca allows the arbitrary resizing of any window, but it's manual tiling nature is way different than DWM. xmonad has a few layouts that do it; ResizableTile and MouseResizableTile come to mind. Awesome can do it at least with the mouse. I'm sure it's possible with the keyboard also.

--EDIT--

It seems that I misread the OP. My apologies.

Holding ModKey + Right Click

Thanks, for yours answers, but i don't think your answer mine or i don't understand yours.
I explain little more. I usually use Modkey + h , and ModKey + l, to expand/reduce the tile. More of the time i have two or mores tile (subdivisions) in the same screen (see the link, for example). If i change to a screen two the same sizes of the tile keep in new one. If annoying to me, i think awesome doesn't has this behavior.

Which tiling manager has this behavior?

I think you are looking for the pertag patch: so you resize three tiles in tag1 and then move to tag2 and you can have a different layout: is that what you want?

FWIW: I work around this by manually setting layouts in all tags and then float the lot... it works, most of the time.

You get it. I try to use the patch.

I need some help to install the patch. I try to follow this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=61499.
1. I get the patch, and put it in my .config/dwm directory.
2. Change the PKGBUILD and config.h file, like said the thread.
3. Execute the makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD , without errors
4. makepkg -efi. The output is:

can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

|+++ b/dwm.c    Tue Oct 20 18:27:52 2009 -0300
--------------------------
File to patch:

I don't know what to put.

Someone with an idea?

Using the pkgbuild in community, write:

patch -p1 < ../dwm-5.7.2-pertag.diff || return 1

right under the line starting with cd.

e: Add the patch to the source array, too.

You need to put the diff in dwm/src/dwm-5.7.2/ and then apply the patch as per the instructions...

Thanks.
I solved the problem.
I can't live without this feature.

See ya!.

Here another user of the pertag patch for the very same reasons. However I understand that it can't go upstream because it breaks in some way the tagging paradigm identifying tag with view, so that it is not clear what should happen when you view more than one tag... But in the real life everything goes smoothly
