It requires a patched metacity though now.. how would we do that then? now that compiz grid is all pretty like that, i can't wait to get my hands on some physical object resistance.. so i can use the border of one grid-placed window to bump against and push the border of another window.. i'd need proper resize handles for that first. I for one am interested in checkin thiz out! i thought maximumize would be able to help with that, but i think that's a different process.. looks to me more like a new feature. In bluetile (thanks OmegaYear), adjacent gridded windows share 1 border, so if you move it, you resize both windows at the same time. I think this might deserve some consideration, too. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
