UI looks crappy on tiled WM #31

We should do something with it, for example make button area on main window fixed size and move "Enter Emoji" button to very bottom of chat window (and make surrounding area fixed size as well).

Nothing I do changes this behavior. It's absolutely frustrating.

4DA commented 10 years ago

Damn.

If we don't find a solution, i think we can ripoff all tox functionality from blight and make simple runnable example (without any runtime dependencies) with plain GUI and post to racket mailing list.

I haven't tested this on a tiling WM, but it should fix it on all supported WMs.

Halfwake commented 10 years ago

Probably should reopen this, since only half of the problem was fixed. That or make a new issue.

@Halfwake Yeah, it was closed automatically with the PR.

@4DA @Halfwake What other tiling window managers would you say are commonly used and should be tested? I only use AwesomeWM and a lot of the dialog boxes are automatically set to be floating, which doesn't help if the behavior isn't the same.

4DA commented 10 years ago

I use i3 window manager and it's fairly popular.

i can confirm that preferences, help and about dialogs are set to float and are correctly handled by WM.
