I don't recall this. Can you be more specific? On which version or even which year.
The fix is easy: Place the two screen halves above each other
PRs are welcome
Hi,
This feature actually used to exist in the plugin, but was removed. Perhaps by accident? If not, please back-port it and add is as an option.
The thing is that I have a 8×1 grid layout of workspaces, that is 8 in a horizontal row. When I press Super and all workspaces are minimized, the screen gets split in two; to the right I see minimized versions of all apps on the selected workspace, and to the right I see my row of workspaces:
[ windows | workspaces ]
While the orientation might make sense with other grid layouts, it is definitely leads to waste of precious space when all workspaces are aligned horizontally. See screenshot and I think you'll agree.
The fix is easy: Place the two screen halves above each other:
windows
workspaces
Instead of trying to make some clever logic that determines when to use which layout, do the easy thing:
Make an option switch.
I suppose this wouldn't hurt: useAlternativeLayout = gridLayout.x > gridLayout.y;
Anyway, please look into this. Like I said, this used to work, but suddently broke which is really frustrating.
