You know how sometimes old documents would reuse paper by turning it sideways and writing perpendicularly on top of the old writing? Let's make a window manager that does that, overlap the contents of all your windows at different angles

It’s surprisingly possible (and easy) too… a little bit of tinkering with X11’s compositor API would probably do the trick.

IDK about Wayland tho :/

[-] sxan@midwest.social 5 points 9 months ago

You could do it in Wayland, too, it's just that every single Wayland app would have to re-implement the rotation and rendering themselves.

Wayfire seems perfectly capable of rotating apps without them being aware of it

It could tilt them out of the viewport, leaving just a corner in, like weird minimizing

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
