Mariner Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 I often work with two open windows and I'd like to arrange them horizontally or vertically with a click but I can't find this feature. My windows menu only allows me to cascade or unclutter the current windows. I have Mandriva One 2008 Spring (updated). I searched Google but could only find some Ubuntu users who wanted the same thing. Is there a way to do it?

dexter11 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Ever tried to use a tiling window manager? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariner Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 No, I'm new to Linux, but I'll look into it. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Well then here's one: Awesome. It's not really flashy, I didn't try it myself, but I read some users praising it. Some screenies before install: http://tamilinux.wordpress.com/2008/05/07/...y-in-the-panel/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Indeed, awesome is... awesome. But all tiling managers, incl. awesome, aren't that easy to configure, especially for a new Linux user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariner Posted October 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Yes, I'm afraid I'll have to leave that for later because I still have to learn more important things first. But I like the fact that the system is so customizeable (does this word even exist? :D ) Thanks for the links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
