I have a 30 inch at home, it is awesome, I like to use it in addition to my laptop screen. I run firefox on the laptop screen emacs on the big screen. When you move to a large screen, window management become even more problematic. Fitt's law falls apart at 2560x1600.
I recently moved to stumpwm, and I have been having a blast. Stumpwm is a tiling window manager written in Common Lisp. I tried xmonad and awesome, but stumpwm just made more sense to me. I think that all of the tiling window managers are a bit clunky now, but they have a lot of potential.
The next time I see 30 inch screens for less than $900 on outlet.dell.com I plan to buy 2 and mount them in portrait mode.
- Silhouette 17y ago> Fitt's law falls apart at 2560x1600. Indeed. I'm running 1920x1200 on a 24". I would really like a simple tool on WinXP so that I could "midimize" a window: drag a title bar to the corner of the desktop area (minus the task bar) and have the window snap to 1/4 of the desktop, or drag to an edge and snap to 1/2 the available space. I do something use the "Tile Vertically" and "Tile Horizontally" commands to get a neat layout, but it's too awkward to do it all the time.

- Silhouette 17y agoMany thanks, that's exactly what I wanted. I searched for tools like that a while ago and never found anything that did it at the time, so it's nice to see someone meeting the need.
