Switch to gap concept from padding concept

[Brixy]

Hi and thank you very much for filtile. It does everything I would have suggested for rivertile. Excellent!

If it makes sense to you, would you consider switching to a gap-concept instead of padding. Basically it means that you only have gaps between windows but not around them, so the don’t add up – and optionally around the whole layout area.

IMHO this is somewhat saner, easier to understand and looks better. This is comparable to CSS grid gaps.

I looked around a bit. Rivercarro uses gaps.

Thanks.

I kinda like padding, and it keeps it consistent with rivertile. It's a minor goal to have this be a drop-in replacement, and it's there except for startup parameters, which would be pretty easy to add once I get around to it. Plus, you can't hide borders, so having zero outer gap generally looks terrible. You can still do that, if you want, when there's one window, with smart-padding 0.

Thank you very much for your reply.

You are right: Switching to filtile from rivertile was a breeze.

I’ll just use smart-padding 0.

Let me just close this issue.

Thanks again for filtile. It’s an absolutely perfect fit for my river workflow.
