Should tiled windows keep to the minimum window size property? #46

Open takagiy opened 4 years ago

takagiy commented 4 years ago

Currently, all windows keep to the program specified minimum size of their WM_NORMAL_HINTS property. But it seems to be a problem that the window tiled in the area smaller than the specified minimum size will spread out and overlap the other windows, especially Google Chrome has a bit wider minimum width: wmderland-many-chrome

On the other hand, i3wm ignores the program specified minimum size property for tiled windows: i3-many-chrome

Thanks again!

Yes! You're right, silly me :smile:

It has been fixed in 96219de3a3d78b83273bdf013ecc299f9ce17a28, thank you so much!

Thank you so much for the quick support! I checked that it was fixed.

Great! I'm glad it works!

Oh, the wm might still have to ensure that the window excepting for the border width has at least certain width and height (and allow overlapping only in this worst case with many very thin windows). Otherwise, we'll see the window at the top left corner of the display even though it actually should be tiled. many-thin-windows
