darcs patch: add Mosaic layout.
Hi all, This adds my Mosaic extensible layout, using the extensible layouts patch that I just sent in. This isn't a terribly sophisticated layout engine, but at least it works better for me than any of the default ones. And more to the point, it demonstrates how to use the extensible layout patch that I just sent in to implement a non-trivial layout scheme. If you want to play with this, the interesting bindings are: mod-L : make windows wider mod-H : make windows taller mod-shift-L : Make currently focussed window bigger mod-shift-H : Make currently focussed window smaller mod-shift-S : Try to make the currently focussed window square, if possible All these adjustments are remembered, so you can arrange things as you wish, to a limited extent. As I said, it's pretty crude. An obvious extension would be to use windowing hints (e.g. from the recently posted patch) to get better defaults for the preferred aspect ratios and sizes. The layout algorithm isn't smart enough currently to even handle absolute sizes for windows. But that's the sort of thing that'd be worth adding.
