|---|---|---|
| coz_ | darkmatter, hey guy | 00:41 |
| * darkmatter feels like an idiot xD | 00:41 | |
| darkmatter | was about to go catch a bus I'm not catching til tomorrow (I thought today was wednesday. lol) | 00:43 |
| coz_ | :) | 00:43 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, been there :) | 00:43 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, I have had a bad day myself...a few people insisted that I was arrogant or critical | 00:44 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, I didnt know what to say to them so I just left which probably fueled the fire I gues | 00:44 |
| darkmatter | coz_: meh, I come across like that on my good days :P | 00:45 |
| coz_ | :) | 00:45 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, I dont see you as arrogant at ll | 00:45 |
| darkmatter | coz_: on the otherhand I switched my compiz/metacity config over to BeOS style window management | 00:45 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, ooo | 00:45 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, i was thinking of fireing up my BeOs box but it didnt work :( | 00:46 |
| darkmatter | close <double click hide> maximize. plus some extras. like mouse wheel shading, etc | 00:46 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, cool | 00:46 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, no tabs though | 00:47 |
| darkmatter | coz_: but also started piddling around with some old crap (amiga, qnx, etc) and had an _awesome_ idea for window grouping without cluttering the ui with tabs | 00:48 |
| coz_ | oh? | 00:48 |
| darkmatter | as in "multi windows grouped" tabs ;p | 00:48 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, mmm | 00:48 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, what would be the alternative to tabs? | 00:48 |
| darkmatter | coz_: was looking at how 'oldschool' windowing presented 'extras' in the borders, and then thought of my concepr for killing in app tabs. thought, what if you had a <windows/tabs/whatever> glyph that appeared when grouping occurred (in the deco), and then mousing over would display a list of the windows grouped could even support thumbs I guess). basically the same as tabbing, but cleaner. because you have the indication of groupng w | 00:52 |
| darkmatter | ithout the clutter | 00:52 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, sounds like the group and tab plugin for compiz | 00:52 |
| darkmatter | not "omg revolutionary!" or anything. just a logical adaptation | 00:52 |
| darkmatter | coz_: kinda, but gui driven | 00:53 |
| darkmatter | i used to love the keyboard, but in recent years I've started to hate it :P | 00:53 |
| darkmatter | coz_: mouse wheel on background/workspace to "quick tab" though windows? | 00:54 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, ok sounds nice | 00:54 |
| darkmatter | coz_: of curse it's just a very rough hashup atm. but works. since it kinda fits with how I'm handling things like multiple webpages and the like (not really any _real_ code yet (just a bit on nostromo)) but common patterns ++ | 00:56 |
| coz_ | cool | 00:57 |
| darkmatter | coz_: similar methodology could be adapted to a window list. also inspired by classic windowmanagement. how some os's/window managers had the "raise/lower button, but the window decoration had to be visible to raise/lower it. the "popup list/thumbox" thingy could work there as well I guess, because you wouldn't need to see the window, nor throw the mouse to a panel/dock | 01:11 |
| darkmatter | coz_: I know I'm kinda rambling, just looking for feedback | 01:11 |
| coz_ | darkmatter, I like the ideas,,, I just dont know how it would work in code... I am still somewhat up in the air with my coding skills | 01:11 |
| darkmatter | :) | 01:13 |
| darkmatter | bbiab. watching tv with the missus | 01:14 |
