tabbed window manager that can tile windows inside floating containers

Absolutely adoring shod, but I've noticed that none of the transparency affects I have set up (only in my terminal and some parts of browser) are not working. The compositor itself (I've tried picom and xcompmgr) seems to work fine (picom has fade-in and fade-out on some applications like dmenu) but there is no transparency. Any ideas?

With shodc focus -n it only cycles between two containers, if theres more than two then they won't be cycled thru. shodc focus -c -n doesn't help either. I want to cycle thru all the containers just like how Alt+Tab and Alt+Shift+Tab work in Windows.

Hi there I love how shod works! Great job on it! ❤️

The only issue is that dragging feels slow, I lack the skill to figure out what part of the code could be the culprit, but if I compare the performance to for example https://github.com/morgant/mlvwm (hard fork of fvwm 1.x) it's rather slow when it comes to drawing the window while dragging.

I'm running it from WSL btw which also works very well. So this maybe something you don't even consider but mlvwm for comparison has no issue drawing at my monitors refresh rate.

Updated shod to latest

• git pull
• make -j16
• sudo make install
• restarted

Now shod starts but issues

• No x window is visible
• sxhkd stopped working completely
• all x apps ignore killing

If shod is started from an already running X app, i.e not from ~/.xinitrc it works as normal

This is weird and as a work around i've set Ctrl+O in sxhkd to launch shod.

Hi. This is a really neat wm, so thanks. I have a question about setting a new font for the window title bar. I've tried as many variations as I could think of but none seem to work. Do ttf and bdf (or otb) font formats work? If so, what is the proper syntax?

Thanks.

Olá,

Eu mantenho o pacote de shod para a NetBSD que importei no final de Agosto, https://pkgsrc.se/wm/shod

Será que você recomenda que eu substitua esse pacote por um novo shod2? Como chamar o programa nesse caso, shod2 ou simplesmente shod? O executável é shod mesmo, não é?

Obrigado por um pouco mais de imformacão se for possivel.

I like your window manager and the way it tabs and tiles. I have an issue which ive duplicated using both sxhkd and xbindkeys. If creating several tab windows and then closing them quickly the hotkey program will stop responding and then no other hotkeys will work. I didnt notice that happen with only floating containers that contain no other windows.

currently the close button is always top-right and closes the focused tab, instead have a close button for every tab. allowing to close tabs without having to switch to them first. this also prevents ambiguity when someone might think that the close button closes the tab the button is next to

Recreate

1. open Fragements app ( this happends with any libadwaita or libhandy or gtk3 app's dialog windows)
2. start a torrent
3. click on the torrent list item to get a details dialog window

sometimes dialog windows do need to be moved around

example in GIMP

if you choose a filter such as Color>Recolor, You can't see the effect because the dialog window covers the image.

Idiotic question, but how do I set the various options for Shod? I looked at the wiki and tried 'shod -m Mod4' and 'shod [-m Mod4]' but neither work, so what is the correct format?

The reparent command

Usage:

shodc reparent {vert,hori,tab,detach} target_win_id dest_win_id

Options:

vert: Tile window vertically

hori: Tile window horizontally

tab: Tab window

detach: Detach into separate container
