<Guest49>
thanks! i will take a look at ristate, but i guess i was able to get what i need from waybar!
<NickH>
riverwm-utils and river-shift tags are also examples of code that do this. See the wiki.
<NickH>
Ohh and river-tag-overlay too.
<NickH>
Are you wanting this information to be displayed to the user or are you wanting to use it programatically?
<Guest49>
i am planing on tetsing river, but i think i will have a lot of issues xD

<Guest49>
but probably wayland will be the most problematic of all
<Guest49>
been on sway for a while.. and lots of problems
<NickH>
Its fine as long as you aren't using nvidia
<Guest49>
sharing individual screens is not possible at all
<NickH>
There are ways.
<Guest49>
i just got a framework laptop and a new 34" screen
<Guest49>
sorry, i mean individual windows
<Guest49>
i made a very hack way of working with this... but basically means i needed a nested session, and share screen from within nested.. kind of solved the issue for now
<Guest49>
didn't actually used it, but figure out how to do it
<NickH>
I started using sway at the end of 2019, switched to river at the end of 2021. There have been issues with each, but nothing insurmountable.
<Guest49>
yeah, i will see with river now, do you have any suggestions?
<NickH>
What distro are you on?
<NickH>
That will determine the best way to install it.
<Guest49>
archlinux
<Guest49>
i amusing it already
<Guest49>
on nested, to test everything
<NickH>
I see. What version?
<NickH>
Most recent release is quite old.
<Guest49>
0.1.3
<Guest49>
i canuse git if needed
<Guest49>
maybe better to use git, it's quite old the one i am using for sure
<NickH>
You just need to be aware that 0.1.3 might be missing some features that people mention.
<NickH>
So if something doesn't work check to make sure it was actually implemented in 0.1.3.
<Guest49>
i will use the git version if there is one at aur
<Guest49>
NickH onthing i would like to understand better is regarding the layouts
<NickH>
Layouts are handled by a separate program, nomally called a "layout generator".
<Guest49>
yeah, but i coul dnot find good layouts out there
<NickH>
I'm very happy with stacktile.
<NickH>
It's on the wiki
<Guest49>
i saw it, but the readme has no much info
<NickH>
It's currently undergoing a rewrite, so be sure to use the 1.0.0 version not the head of the git repo.
<Guest49>
it seems they are adding some man and etc
<NickH>
Clone the repo and checkout the v1.0.0 tag to see the readme
<NickH>
And the man page.
<Guest49>
oh, i tested that
<Guest49>
i wanted to submmit a request, did not find the todo
<NickH>
The rewrite (in zig) is not ready to used yet, but the 1.0.0 (in c) is very good.
<Guest49>
since my screen is ultra wide, i wanted to make the remainder also a collum, like three collum, but not sure if it was able
<NickH>
Hmm. Not sure. Not a feature I've wanted.

You might also want to look at kile. I never got that hang of it though.
<Guest49>
could not compile the river-git, my system is to old it seems
<Guest49>
i will try some, but i liked the stacktile, if i could do the threecolum, but i will see
<NickH>
The head of river needs wlroots 16 now.
<Guest49>
i now have a very interesting way of working with tags.. lets hope it work out as i think it will
<NickH>
Ahh yes, you can adjust the sublayout for secondary and/or primary to be colums, so I think you can have as many columns as you like
<Guest49>
XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT="us" XKB_DEFAULT_VARIANT="altgr-intl" river
<Guest49>
i won't be using other layouts with this new pc anyway
<Guest49>
i know iam using dynamic tiling, but is there a layout with manual tiling? just if i fond myself wanting to setup my own layout for some specific task
<NickH>
I don't know of any layout generators that does that.
<NickH>
You can use a floating layout though
<Guest49>
thought of it, will test a few things, thanks
<Guest49>
is it possible to set tags automatically to an app?
<Guest49>
does not seem to be possible.. I wanted to set an scratchpad automatically on start, like, run app if not running and set tag to it, if not, just toogle the tags
<Guest49>
thanks for everything, will get some sleep, but without this it seems it will not be an option =/

How can I set the scale for HiDPI displays in the init file (if possible)? I have looked through the manpages/wiki/issues but couldn't find any mention.
<leon-p>
you probably want to use kanshi for that
<asvln>
thank you
