02:51 <LemanR> hey all, configuring the WM with little outside help except the docs :D

02:52 <LemanR> btw, in the default init file isn't there a way to resize window without going changing the window into a floating window?

02:53 <LemanR> I thought I had done that before but maybe because I was just tinkering at the time it was turning the windows into floating ones and I just didn't realize it?

02:57 <LemanR> Anyway this is my humble config, it's not much but it's an honest init file lol http://dpaste.com/ASR6ALEDS

02:59 <NickH> The sort of resizing that I think you are describing doesn't exist.

03:00 <NickH> Just had a look at your config. Curious to know why you are using "killall river" instead of the buitin exit action.

03:01 <LemanR> I'm trying to remember myself actually, For some reason I thought it might be better but i was still trying out things.

03:02 <NickH> I'm also a little surprised that you don't have any bindings to control rivertile. Have you looked at the example init file that comes with river?

03:02 <NickH> Ohh, you're avoiding looking at the example on purpose?

03:03 <LemanR> I haven't read much into rivertiles yet or tags. I'll be reading those later as I'm learning. Although I installed this a week or two ago I've been working a lot so not too much time to actually figure out how to do things.

04:26 <NikhilSingh[m]1> LemanR The resizing that you wanna acheive is present in stacktile layout by leon-p. check that out as it will not resize it will change the ratio of the space given to the window.

04:26 <NikhilSingh[m]1> river tile only changes the ratio in respect of witdth other than height. Stack tile have height ratio too. Check that out. scroll a bit up you will find it

07:38 <youpilai> tleydxdy[m]: you can simulate a monocle mode with the help of stacktile "all_primary" command. I made a script that apply some stacktile commands (all_primary true, all_padding 0, primary_sublayout full) to put a view in monocle mode, or to get back in previous state (all_primary false, all_padding 5, primary_sublayout rows). As stacktile manage

07:38 <youpilai> layout by tags, this makes it close enough to a real monocle mode to me (the only thing i can't change is the border width, as this is managed by riverctl and so applied to all tags)

13:07 <tleydxdy[m]> i see

15:20 <NikhilSingh[m]1> leon-p is it possible to somehow notify which layout is selected while cycling in stack layout?

15:20 <NikhilSingh[m]1> can you link script?

15:36 <youpilai> NikhilSingh[m]1 will do when i'm home

15:49 <mizzunet> Hi, after some >1G system update, river simply display a blank screen, can't even switch between TTYs. Here's coredump: https://0x0.st/ojR5.txt

16:04 <ifreund> mizzunet: how are you building your river binary?

16:05 <ifreund> that seems like the same trace as https://github.com/riverwm/river/issues/657

16:22 <mizzunet> I installed pre-built river-git from chaotic mirror on Arch

16:23 <mizzunet> Let me actually install river git package

16:26 <mizzunet> Hopefully, no issue with it by building from source. I guess, some issue with chaotic mirror's river binary?

16:26 <mizzunet> Thanks

16:27 <youpilai> NikhilSingh[m]1 the script i've bind for toggle-monocle : https://dpaste.com/4W3E95GWG

16:55 <tleydxdy[m]> I arrived at some sort of compromise for the monocle patch, basically put only the old-focused window at the bottom of the stack and bring the new-focused window to the top

16:55 <tleydxdy[m]> it's probably still problematic in some cases

16:55 <tleydxdy[m]> but at least it fix the popup issue and doesn't mess with the focus other tags that much

16:55 <tleydxdy[m]> the toggle-monocle thing wouldn't let me do per tag monocle layout probably

17:02 <youpilai> stacktile allows layout per tag

17:02 <youpilai> so the script apply only on current tag

17:04 <youpilai> but the way i store the mode (via a file in .cache is global, it's not a perfect solution)

17:20 <snakedye> Kile had global/per tag layouts/attributes

17:20 <snakedye> Has*

17:21 <tleydxdy[m]> it's not really about the layout generator

17:22 <tleydxdy[m]> it's how the view stack doesn't interact well with monocle's need

17:22 <tleydxdy[m]> using different tags for different monocle window is a neat hack

17:22 <tleydxdy[m]> but that limits the monocle window to <32

17:22 <tleydxdy[m]> and also mess up the normal tags

18:12 <leon-p> for me it was helpful to look at the usecases I'd need monocle mode for: either I just want to temporarily enlarge a single windows size without messing up my layout, or because I run some graphical thing in a terminal which I'd then hide behind the application windows. For the former I now just use rivers fullscreen mode and for the latter I change the sublayout of the primary_area to full and place the graphical window at the top of the view stack.

18:33 <tleydxdy[m]> I have a few windows that works best when big, e.g. this chat, my email client, etc

18:33 <tleydxdy[m]> so I have them on one tag with monocle

18:33 <tleydxdy[m]> so I can cycle between them whenever some message me or something

18:34 <tleydxdy[m]> I also use it when I'm flipping between two program that need to be big, but that's not crucial since tags work fine for that

18:35 <tleydxdy[m]> mainly use it for programs I just want to be "in the background'
