Zoom function in tiling WMs for the Eee

Looking at getting an Eee PC. A zoom function in the window manager (similar,  but not necessarily as flashy as, Compiz Fusion) would be a must. I'd like to use a tiling WM on it, though. Does anyone know which, if any, tiling WMs have a zoom function, or one can be easily added to them?

Thanks!

Re: Zoom function in tiling WMs for the Eee

Some tiling WMs allow you to toggle fullscreen on/off for the focused window, in effect zooming in on one window (e.g. stumpWM). Others allow you to change layouts on the fly, and have a one-window-per-screen layout, for the same effect (e.g. wmii, xmonad).

I don't know of a tiling WM that supports zooming similar to compiz's.

If you really need that, stick to compiz. It should have a plugin that provides some tiling functionality.
