Yes, this nifty workflow wonder is finally able to automatically tile newly opened windows based on the currently active tiling layout (and as you may sick of me re-emphasising: you can switch between different layouts ad-hoc, and create and save your own).

Windows auto-tile to the best vacant slot in the layout. But what’s ‘best’? Tiling Shell developer Domenico Ferraro says this will be the ‘vacant tile nearest to the center of the screen’.

With the addition of automatic tiling you no longer need to tile windows manually.

Hi,
with gtk/adw how do I use GtkRevealer inside an AdwPreferencesGroup keeping correct position and style?

What I'm trying to do is showing/hiding with an animation an AdwExpanderRow which should go on top following style of other rows inside preferences group.

This is how it looks:

This is how it should look:

Thanks.

For the past few days, for the first time, I've seriously tried MacOS and I became distinctly aware that anyone who calls Gnome similar to MacOS has never used MacOS.

If you're just looking at screenshots, Gnome and MacOS do bear a resemblance. Gnome's Dash looks similar to the Dock; Gnome's app launcher looks similar to Launchpad; Gnome's top panel looks similar to the menu bar.

But actually using each desktop, the UX, design philosophy, idealogy, and feel is miles apart. I think the four biggest differences are

  1. No menu bar
  2. Minimizing distractions, so no dock
  3. Interacting with windows is closer to Windows and KDE (fullscreening windows keeps them in same workspace, can interact with a window's content without first clicking to focus it)
  4. Managing open apps is closer to Windows and KDE (apps actually close when you hit "x", with few exceptions, only open apps and favorited apps are in the dash)

I know Cambalache exists but it mostly does not work.
