Fluid tile 4.0 - No more empty spaces
Serrodahttps://codeberg.org/Serroda/fluid-tile
Hello again, this new version 4.0 has taken quite a bit of work since KWin doesn't make it easy for me
Features
Your windows now extend across empty spaces (This has been like a pain in the ass)
Windows open on the desktop and screen where you have focus
Fluid tile has been rewritten with EMACScript modules, improving code efficiency and maintainability
More information
Update your script and let me know your feedback
Thank you and have a nice day!!

Would this work on Fedora's atomic spins and forks running KDE Plasma?
I run Bazzite, which is downstream of silverblue.
Also, out of curiosity... Would this work on KDE OS?
Hi, this script will only work if the window manager is KWin. Fedora A's atomic spins uses Sway and the forks should work if you use Kwin by default
KDE Linux uses KWin by default
Bazzite uses Kwin, so it should work, right? Even if it's atomic / semi-immutable.
Yeah of course, try installing the script from the KDE settings using the Get New button. Instructions
Yesterday I tried it on Aurora, I couldn't download a single kwin script, that's on them. Today I tried Fluid Tile on Bazzite, works like a charm. Great work!
Thanks mate, one question. Aurora won't let you install any kwin scripts? How are you trying to install the scripts? Manual or with Get New button?
BlisterexeLooks sick! I'll try it out when I get home.
unknown1234_5how is this one different from krohnkite and karousel?
Fluid tile does not replace the KWin tiling system, just adds more auto-tiling features. Krohnkrite and Karousel replace the current KWin tiling system
Fluid tile works with KWin tile editor (Meta + T shortcut), this allows better integration with KWin without needing to create another tile editor as is the case in Krohnkite, additionally, you can use the shortcuts that come with KDE by default to move windows, and expands functionalities such as changing the tile layout with shortcuts, etc..
The idea is to adapt to the KWin tiling system, not replace it
boredsquirrel (he)sounds a lot like polonium. didnt work out great there but it could've just been a bad implementation. I'll have to give fluid tile a try.
I haven't tried polonium, so I don't know how it works. If you have any problems or questions, don't hesitate to ask me
it had kinda the same idea of working with kwin instead of against it but it just worked worse than other options. iirc it got abandoned bc nobody was interested anymore once krohnkite was revived. yours also seems kinda similar to mousetiler.
Mouse Tiler has the same problem as the other options: it replaces the KWin system.
I recently added a compact mode for user interfaces similar to Mouse Tiler or Kzones, for those who don't want the overlay to take up the entire screen.
The fact is that they all follow the same pattern, replacing the KWin system, and I don't think that's the best option. In the end, conflicts will always arise because you'll always be fixing incompatibility issues with two systems that are fighting each other.
what's the issue though? the existing system in plasma is already so out of the way its barely useful, so it makes sense to replace it with a better system and just ignore it. not that you shouldnt be doing what you're doing, I just dont get why.
cannedtunaOh snap! Didn’t know this existed. Definitely want to try this out when I get back to my PC
Woah, I gotta try this, dynamic tiling (and the related shortcuts/interactions) was the only thing that pushed me away from kde to hyprland. Great stuff, thank you!
