I have dreamed of trying a window manager where instead of work spaces it has can be scrolled side to side like a big white board where you can pan and scroll and even zoom out to see the whole work space . The closest thing I have found are some VR work spaces, does anyone have any 2d reccomendations. Would love to see if this would work for my work flow
- aidenn0 4y agoMinus the zooming part, a lot of the window managers from the late 90s/early 00s worked this way. IIRC, GNOME 1 had an option for this. It didn't work that great because there just wasn't that much use for windows halfway between multiples of the screen size.
- dizhn 4y agoYou used to get that free by setting your resolution higher than what your screen supported. It was horrible.
- hulitu 4y agoFor you maybe. It is a very nice feature.
- elviejo 4y agoI think what you are looking for is Cardboard: Scrollable window manager. Here is a review: https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/cardboardwm.html https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/cardboardwm.html
- CmdrKrool 4y agoIt's not a window manager as such, but you might enjoy playing with Eagle Mode: http://eaglemode.sourceforge.net/ http://eaglemode.sourceforge.net/
- whiteline_ 4y agoyou can configure compiz to be exactly like this. there's a current project around keeping it alive/reviving it, in case you thought it was completely bitrotted. it's very subpar in other ways, you need to tweak it down to the last detail for you personal ergonomics, i personally use herbstluftwm these days
