Tips and Tricks

Hello everyone, a while ago I switched from Gnome to KDE because I was looking for more customization, and something I was missing and missed in KDE was an auto-tiling system that worked natively without creating a separate engine.

This is where Fluid tile comes in, a KWin script that uses the KWin API to automatically organize your windows

Features

- :rocket: Working on KDE Plasma 6.4 (or superior)

- :hammer_and_wrench: KWin native tiling

- :window: Smooth tiling

- :framed_picture: Working with custom layout (Meta + T)

- :laptop: Auto create and delete virtual desktops

- :no_entry: Blocklist for apps to which you don’t want the script to apply

- :gear: User options

- :1234: Configures the priority order of windows according to the width, height and position of the tiles

- :white_square_button: Select the default tile layout when creating a new virtual desktop

- :paintbrush: Custom layout when creating a new virtual desktop

- :pinching_hand:t2: Move your windows between tiles with the UI

If you have any questions or problems with the script, please let me know

Can you tell how it differs from GitHub - esjeon/krohnkite: A dynamic tiling extension for KWin ?

Fluid integrates with the Meta+T zone system, nice.

Hi, the main difference is that Fluid tile uses the native KWin API to manage windows and layout, ensuring a smoother integration with native KDE

Kröhnkite uses his own engine for order the windows

You can read the wiki or F.A.Q if you have more questions
