Correct, I have not updated for 40 or 41. I haven't had a lot of time, but plan on making updates sometime in the (hopefully) near future.
I've played around a bit, and Tidal WM actually works quite well under GNOME 40 already (apart from the settings widget).
To get it running, clone the git as per the readme. Then edit metadata.json
and include "40"
under shell-version
. Restarting Gnome shell then lets you use Tidal with default settings.
To change settings, you can edit /schemas/org.gnome.shell.extensions.tidalwm.gschema.xml
to your liking, and once done, recompile it with glib-compile-schemas schemas/
run from the extension folder. Then restart Gnome shell again.
Edit: Ok, it is a bit sketchy. Some windows freeze up after sleep, some times the tiling forgets to enlarge windows alone on a workspace, and once in a while the active window highlight seems to linger after closing e.g. dialogs.
It looks like Tidal WM doesn't run in Gnome 40. In
gnome-shell-extension-prefs
, the extension is disabled and shows this stack trace:It looks like there's more info and a guide here for porting extensions to Gnome 40 if you find it helpful:
Thanks for making this WM!
