Window tiling doesn't adapt to display resolution changes. #52

I currently have a laptop with a 1080p display, which I use while on the go, but when I'm at work I connect my laptop to a 4K display. I only use one display at a time.

When I switch between displays, the tiling I have set up does not adapt to the new screen size.

For example, if I create a tiling on the 1080p display and connect the 4K display, the windows now only take up the top left quarter of the display. I can still change the ratios between the windows, but I need to break the tiling and recreate it, to take advantage of the full display space.

Going the opposite way is worse (setting up a tiling on the 4K display and disconnecting it), the windows actually stay within the visible area of the screen, but the outermost windows, still stretch all the way our to where the display edge was before, meaning that most of the window content is off screen.
