Though I’d give it a spin… I was preparing for some misbehavior given my less than trivial screen setup, but some issues are common to even simplest cases.
-
Do not, NEVER EVER resize the EVE client windows. If it’s in frameless mode, it will not detect the resize, and you will never be able to correctly restore its size due to canvas superposition issues. If it is in windowed mode, it will correctly resize the canvas, but that will destroy the internal interface layout with no hope of recovering. Just don’t do that.
-
Do not track the “EVE” window. It’s useless and confusing. Even if you do, do not resize it. Because see #1.
-
I’d like an optional VWM-friendly mode, where previews would stay where they started instead of following me though the virtual desktops.
-
It would make sense to resize the preview relative to the same anchor point as it is specified for zoom.
-
If possible, I’d like to see previews centered inside thumbnails.
-
If possible, I’d like zoomed previews to be closer in proportions to the original client windows. (Meaning, zoom the client preview, not a thumbnail that was generated from it.)
Remark: VWM (Virtual Window Manager) is a program, that extends the available desktop space by moving windows off-screen. I.e. I have dual monitor 4x height setup. Which basically gives me 8 monitors’ worth of easily accessible desktop space.
For 5. & 6., I have a “medium” client profile that is basically a vertical stripe approx. half the screen width. Lets you put two clients on one screen with minimal overlap. With default thumbnail 9:5 proportions, there’s a wide black area on the right of such clients, and it is retained on zoom in.
And speaking of zoomed in clients,
- I would really like to have active preview to not change control area. Right now, when zoomed view pops out, the entire zoomed preview is clickable, covering any other previews nearby. What I’d prefer is for active area to remain the same, allowing activation of other overlays without excessive mouse moves.
