Tilingshell
Tilingshell is a window management extension for the GNOME desktop environment that organizes application windows into structured grid layouts. It functions as a desktop utility that automates window placement and provides tools for customizing the graphical interface of Linux systems.
The project distinguishes itself through a constraint-based geometry engine that maintains alignment during resizing and a declarative rendering system that maps grid definitions to screen space. It supports workspace-scoped state management, allowing for independent tiling configurations across different virtual desktops and monitors. Users can define and persist these arrangements using a graphical layout editor or by importing and exporting structured configuration files.
The extension provides a comprehensive suite of window management capabilities, including interactive snapping, automatic placement logic, and multi-monitor synchronization. It also includes auxiliary features for visual styling, such as dynamic border adjustments, and integrates with system events to ensure layouts remain consistent as windows are created or moved.
Features
- Tiling Window Managers - Organizes application windows into structured grid layouts to maximize screen space.
- GNOME Shell Extensions - Operates as a dynamic plugin within the desktop shell to intercept window management events.
- Tiling Window Managers - Provides advanced grid layouts, window snapping, and multi-monitor support for the desktop shell.
- Window Layout Grids - Maps abstract grid definitions to screen coordinates to dynamically render window layouts.
- Window Organizers - Organizes application windows into custom grid patterns using drag-and-drop, keyboard shortcuts, or edge-snapping to optimize screen space.
- Per-Monitor Workspace Stacks - Applies consistent window tiling configurations across multiple monitors and virtual workspaces.
- Virtual Workspace Managers - Maintains isolated tiling configurations for each virtual desktop and monitor.
- Spatial Geometry Calculators - Computes geometric relationships between window tiles to ensure consistent alignment during resizing and snapping.
- Window - Automatically moves newly created windows into appropriate tiles based on the current layout.
- Multi-Monitor Window Management - Extends tiling functionality across multiple connected displays for consistent window organization.
- Linux Desktop Customizations - Modifies graphical interface and window behavior through custom layouts and snapping.
- Event-Driven Hook Systems - Triggers automatic window placement and layout adjustments in response to system events like window creation or movement.
- GNOME Shell Tweaks - Enhances the desktop environment with advanced window management features for improved productivity.
- Display-Aware Layout Managers - Applies tiling configurations independently to each monitor and workspace.
- Grid Snapping - Provides interactive window snapping and layout suggestions for efficient grid arrangement.
