Comment #4 on issue 312 by OrbisVicis: [improvement] MosaicAlt: change tall/wide http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=312 My thoughts: First off, I want to mention that this patch is pretty much exactly the enhancement I was looking for in MosaicAlt. Furthermore, aside from the multiple-keypress issue, MosaicAlt behaves exactly as originally. Usability: I find that it is much more productive to have layout modifications take effect right away, rather than the delayed-buffer/multiple-keypress behavior of the previous version. As aavogt pointed out, both variations are rather unpredictable in their placement of windows, so whether a window is moved sooner or later makes little difference. The new configuration parameters ([Rectangle] and [W.Stack window]) are confusing as they do not modify the behavior of MosaicAlt, at least not in any noticeable way. Performance: Definitely more cpu intensive. Furthermore, doesn't optimize cases when a window is as tall/wide as it can become. In such cases, repeated input/resizing causes cpu to skyrise, and xmonad to lock-up, whereas the original variant simply took moderate processing power by keeping the X server awake. On the other hand, the original MosaicAlt variant would continue modifying the layout though the window could not increase width/height, making even more keypresses necessary to shrink the window. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
