- chrisseaton 6y ago> The application cannot decide where its window ends up. Yes that's how it works. I think there may be some APIs that let you 'hint' to the WM from the application, but it's possibly entirely up to the WM how to interpret those hints. > Every used a tiling WM? Sorry not sure what you're asking here. A tiling WM yes could possibly ignore the hints or interpret them in its own way. But not everyone is using a tiling WM, if that's what you're asking?
- ComputerGuru 6y agoThat should be on the person using a tiling window manager. The whole problem with development this side of the mobile revolution is the regression not to the mean but to the least common denominator and it's what made Windows 8 so horrible. If a WM might exist that chooses to ignore the positioning call, that doesn't mean everyone should be robbed of that functionality.
