Re: [STUMP] 'Virtual screens' or vertical tiling of groups?

[David Bjergaard]

Hi,

This is technically possible, but would require some non-trivial amount of
hacking.  Since stumpwm has its own custom GUI code, you would have to roll your
own version that does what you propose in an X-window.  You probably want to
start with the code that draws the dialog for "windowlist", aka,
select-window-from-menu.  The issue is that a lot of these allow the user to
redefine them so they have format strings that will modify their behavior.  It
may make hacking the code more difficult.

If you've got the lisp chops to do this, please feel free to implement it as a
module. This would be very useful!  If not, then I think this is a great idea
for paulownia, the modern stumpwm re-write.
