Hi, it's me again, the guy trying to make KDE with KWin a smooth experience with this script. In these latest versions, I've managed to add several features to customize your tiling experience.

New Features

  • You can now configure window priority based on the width, height, and position of the tiles.

  • You can also select a default layout that is set when creating a new virtual desktop.

Some of you may wonder why this script exists when there are plugins like Krohnkite. The main difference is that Fluid tile uses the native KWin API, which ensures compatibility and integration of the script with KDE, simplifying development and adapting to future changes in KDE.

It is gradually growing, and I would like you to take a look at it to hear your opinion and if you have any more ideas to implement. I'm listening!

Thanks mate, one question. Aurora won't let you install any kwin scripts? How are you trying to install the scripts? Manual or with Get New button?

Yeah of course, try installing the script from the KDE settings using the Get New button. Instructions

Hi, this script will only work if the window manager is KWin. Fedora A's atomic spins uses Sway and the forks should work if you use Kwin by default

KDE Linux uses KWin by default

I was recently using Gnome with Pop OS and decided to switch to CachyOS with KDE, as I had seen that it was one of the best in terms of customization. But when using KDE, I realized that I was missing something that Pop OS implemented by default, which was the tiling system

So I decided to do some research and see if I could implement a solution that would suit my workflow, and that's how “Fluid tile” was born

Fluid tile is a script for kwin that manages windows by adapting to the custom mosaic (Super + T). You can also configure it to your liking:

  • Maximize or not maximize the window when it opens

  • Maximize or not maximize the last window on the virtual desktop when it closes

  • Automatically create new virtual desktops

  • Remove empty virtual desktops

  • Blacklist apps that you don't want the script to apply to

I'd like you to take a look and tell me what you think or any bugs you find. Thank you

WORKFLOW (How it works)

When a window is opened, it is expanded by default, if another window is opened and there is space the new window is moved to the widest layout, If there are other layouts with the same size, the one closest to the top left corner of the desktop will take priority. When a window is closing, If only one window remains on the desktop, It will be expanded. Finally, if the desktop is empty, remove the desktop.
