New layout for ultrawide monitors
Hi folks, I've published a new layout for ultrawide monitors. I put this together after trying several of the existing layouts that target ultrawides, but finding that none of them really worked quite the way I wanted. The repo is here, https://github.com/milessabin/ThreeColumnStable There's a small animated demo which is hopefully worth a few thousand words. Any and all feedback would be very much appreciated, including on Haskell style (I'm a functional programmer but not a Haskeller). Cheers, Miles -- Miles Sabin https://bsky.app/profile/milessabin.com https://types.pl/@milessabin https://milessabin.com/blog
Wow. Some time back, I was interested in hacking XMonad to do the same, across multiple large monitors. For that, I learned Haskell, and then was amazed by Haskell itself and never got around to hacking XMonad! And these days I've using Hyprland. Perhaps I can do a WMonad or HMonad for it! I have already done one project which is now in the AUR, and am working on an ML currently. Once I am done, we'll see. Fred On Sat, 2025-07-12 at 19:07 +0100, Miles Sabin wrote:

Looks cool! Would you perhaps be interested in contributing this to xmonad-contrib? -- Tony Zorman | https://tony-zorman.com

I'd be honored. I'll leave it for a few weeks to see if there's any interesting feedback to be incorporated first. Cheers, Miles -- Miles Sabin https://bsky.app/profile/milessabin.com https://types.pl/@milessabin https://milessabin.com/blog
