Tiled layout with more columns?
I've got a widescreen display and I found out that three columns of windows fit comfortably. So I would be interested in a layout that is similar to the normal¹ tiled layout, except that it has three columns instead of two. The first window would go in the master area, then half of the remaining windows would go into the middle column, the other half of in the rightmost column. (The rightmost column may have one more window than the middle column, depending on the number of windows in the workspace.) The middle column and the right column would have the same width. Does something like this exist already? tia, Kai

Forgot the footnote: ¹ There is no normal tiled layout of course. I wish I could say tall or wide, but I don't know which... I mean the tiled layout where the screen has two columns, the left being the master area and all other windows being stacked above each other in the right column. Kai

No, but it shouldn't take more than a dozen lines of code. Just copy "tall" and "tile" into your Config.hs (and rename them), and modify tile to create more columns. -- David Roundy http://www.darcs.net
