Heyb uddy , thanks for the video , i installed and set it up with my own spice , thanks ! have a ncie day ahead ! cya around
Tiling window manager was innovation of managing windows on screen that came from GNU Linux not windows not Mac,but GNU Linux. And that a good thing that it allowed on Windows
Tiling system work well in that fairy tales world where a user is supposed to have open just 3-4 windows and/or programs instead of a half hundred
How do you set the Focus window into an exact width / height? I tried to setup a keybind and command for it in the config file, but when I press the keybinds, it didn't work
anyone know how this handles games in window mode? i use power toys and i have the 49in odyssey but i made a custom layout with the center at 2560×1440 and the extra sides left and right split in half for multitasking. but i don't know if this window manager will respect that when a game is running
Cool might try to get that installed on my Work Laptop.
Sold.
While using Linux I discovered the amazing world of hyprland and was looking for something like it on windows, glazewm definitely looks the closest to what I want but I just hate that it's just like on top of Windows, seeing the title bar on everything, having the windows taskbar and not being able to remove it and also not having something like waybar as a choice just saddens me so much
Yep, GlazeWM is amazing. I literally can't live without it anymore. I've set it up properly: key-bindings, colors, topbar, etc. On my channel, you can find a review of my config, if interested.
Finally, a good WM for windows. People are kinda "good to have this one linux too", but as I decided to keep using windows, I'm glad that some Linux only features coming to windows.
Love this tool thanks for sharing. I was able to configure my setup to have rules for my software to jump to designated workspaces. Along with that I pretty much use the same tools everyday so I created .bat to launch all of my software at startup via dropping it in the ./startup folder.
Symlinked my all of my configs to a single folder and now it’s all easy to manage.
Arch and don't suffer bullshit)
How do I uninstall Komorebic?
What the actual heck? Windows looking like linux? I'm in!
Yeah, I'm in because I had some "Nvidia's drivers troubles" so I rather rollback to Windows on my main desktop pc, for work, except I'm using Arium 11.4 which is a debloated Windows made by a very trustworthy team, with elements already close to linux and I will be making it as close as possible to the Linux experience.
Because once you go Linux you can't go back that easily to your toxic and intrusive ex! 😅
Hey, thanks for this video ! I have a quick question : I see in your config file that you use a bar section to customize it. I did the same but my bar doesn't change at all, and I found nothing about this in the docs. Am I missing something ?
Hi does it conflict with Powertoys FancyZone? The one thing I like on Glazewm is when you open an application the window adjusted unlike on Powertoys, it does not, it just remember where the position before.
If it's a good tiling manager i'll contribute $$ for the cause. Please give me your best suggestion.
komorebi needs a new video
This is incredible. Having come from i3wm on Linux to Windows for work, Glaze is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the vid.
Could you be kind to also make tutorials for PowerToys Workspaces?
Doesn’t auto tile every application and the multiple desktops don’t use the desktop system windows uses alt shift 2 puts an application in second desktop but win tab doesn’t show it. These two things mainly made me stop using
problem with tiling is that for some programs most of the time I need to see only part of the window
How does it compare with Komorebi?
Been using it and so far it feels like I wouldn't need anything else, but windows do flicker sometimes with animations, meanwhile I see others not having this type of issue
Native windows window management is pretty decent, no?
Hi Chris I am looking for an alternative to the app called rectangle (which is only available on mac) that works on windows.
How I find amuzing when someone presents a tiling windows app and still uses mouse for most of the demo 🙂
Tiling WMs are what got me into switching to Linux, I might just get back to Binbows.
Checkout Komorebi
How can I add the top task bar like him?
I probably need to spend some more time with this but so far it dodnt meet my needs. I found fancyWM and that has made windows tolerable for me ony work machine 😅
Hey Chris, could you do another video explaining extensively how to tile windows using glazewm. I'm trying to tile my windows in a grid format but have no clue how to do that.
Bro i just have tried hyperland but had some boot issues with my laptop hp victus.. i need to go windows because of work sometimes but now i can do fancy keyboard stuff on windows
Just mentioning "komorebi" tiling WM written in rust. However, the license isn't exactly open source friendly.
omg finally some decent solution for windows tiling on windows
I will try this and use AltSnap along with it.
This is fantastic. Thank you for the video!
WHAT IS THAT TOP STATUS BAR???
have u checked out komorebi?
@glzr_io. This is great tool. I have however encountered some inconsistencies with as I used it. Working with 2 screens was a bit of a challenge. I could not slide my windows to the second screen. Sometimes when i minimize the windows disappear and I cant get them back. Switching between tiles and floating was inconsistent. However, over it is a really good tool an di hope to use it more in the future
Great Software! Hope this lands in the WinUtil
ive never used linux, just use regular windows. found the config file and opened it with notepad++. adjusted the insane gaps, but i dont see where you disable the bar. how to make it so i can move my windows freely? made me super dumb tbh
I'm assuming this wouldn't work on WSL2 kitty terminal window?
Since it's not a normal windows window.
GlazeWM is actually the funniest name lmao
There's a similar project for MacOS too, it's called Aerospace. I love it.
One more thing that makes the experience more Linux or even MacOS-like, installing flowlauncer , it gives you a launchbox like linux/macos so it kinda clones that. you do have to rebind it to something like meta+space because alt+space and alt+shift+space is already bound, no biggie though!
I do have to admit, even on a 4k TV as a monitor, 20px is WAY too much. I don't like gaps to begin with so I set it to 0 in the first place
Hey! I'm one of the two core developers working on GlazeWM. Just wanted to say thank you for checking out the project ⤠We saw a ton of people downloading and joining the discord the last couple of days but weren't sure where everyone was coming from
We just announced a big revamp of the WM that'll (hopefully) be coming in a month or two. The goal is to make Windows as customizable as possible and we're cooking up some other projects that we'll be sharing on our discord in the future
Used GlazeWM for a while, even themed it with a Catppuccin colour palette. Pretty smooth experience with most of the windows, but gaming was a huge headache for me, as I had to manually edit in the names of the games' binary files into GlazeWM's ignore list in order for those fullscreen windows to actually open. Some games won't work even after being added into the ignore list, forcing me to close GlazeWM in order to play them. There was also the problem of elevated processes requiring the WM to be elevated as well. It's a good tool, but unfortunately it couldn't be great because Windows is, well, Windows.
