Hi all, Is it possible to customise the behaviour of window snapping/tiling from the javascript side in a gnome shell extension? Or just set this as a preference in Mutter directly?
I'm aware my terminology might be wrong, so let me explain - by "snapping/tiling" I mean (for example) when you drag a window to the left edge of the screen and drop it, it 'snaps' into a vertically-half-maximised state on the left half of the screen. You also get the little transparent blue preview window before you release the mouse that shows you the outline of what the window will look like once you drop it. Can this behaviour be modified from the gobject bindings? In particular, I'd like to be able to modify the size to which the window snaps - I've just moved to quite a large screen at work and I'd prefer the windows to snap to 1/3rd of the screen's width rather than 1/2 when they vertically maximize. I notice a whole bunch of functions to do with tiling in tile-preview.c window.c in the mutter source (I think what I'm after is to override `meta_window_get_current_tile_area`), but they appear not to be exposed in the .gir file. Perhaps I'd be able to just simulate this behaviour from the javascript side if I can't do it "properly", by detecting drag and drop events on window actors, drawing my own tile preview (but how to suppress Mutter's window preview?), and resizing the window to the appropriate size? Or perhaps it is just a Mutter preference I can set somewhere saying "when vertically maximizing only take up 1/3 of the screen in width instead of 1/2"? cheers _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
