Interesting.
I just would like to notify you of some imprecise expressions which
could lead to error: "But I mostly work in stacked mode" you should
have speak about stacked layout, since the stacking mode is the one
used by most
Not sure about this. I know about the distinction betwee stacked and
tiling WMs, but i3 seems to use "mode" and "layout" interchangeably.
I did not meant that you do not know the distinction, it is simply that
I generally prefer to use good words, and I thought it was a negligence
of yours. The link to the article was simply to prove my words, nothing
more and nothing less.
From the i3 man page:
Containers [i.e. windows] can be used in various LAYOUTS.
The default MODE is called "default" and just resizes
each client equally so that it fits.
Ah. True, I did not noticed.
And about the problem you found with it, I wonder why you do not use
the tabbed layout? (I thought it was possible to hide title bars,
but while reading the doc it appears that I was wrong... But I just
discovered that there is an option to hide the status bar, nice!)
I did use the tabbed layout but the titles took up a lot of
horizontal
space, which was worse than having them vertically.
Here, stacked layout takes much more space than tabbed... titles takes
all horizontal space anyway, but in stacked they also stack, which makes
them take more vertical space...
Speaking about that, it seems that the title disabling only works in
tiling mode, maybe I should report a bug... I do not know maybe it is
normal...
In spectrwm you can
have window titles if you want them but I haven't tried it. I don't
really have much need for window titles.
To be honest, I must admit I found them absolutely useless too in
tiling layout. But in stacked or tabbed ones, how could I see on what
kind of window I'll go if I can not see their titles? (I guess this is
why they are preserved by i3 in those layouts?)
If I understand, what you want is a fullscreen mode where you can still
switch windows?
Status bar: in spectrwm you can optionally have no frame at all in
fullscreen when you turn off the status bar. An absolutely minimal
screen.
Same in i3 here. The bar is even stopped to limit battery consumption
says the doc, but I think it is a new feature of 4.4 since I really did
not remember anything about that before.
