gTile

Release V58

Add preferences dialog

Maintenance release
Support gnome-shell v 44
Minor fixes - some global autotiling keys did not work without gTile window.

Maintenance release, add support to gnome-shell v 43
Minor changes to stylesheet

What changed:

• Remove timeout from Mainloop on disable
• Redo grid preview, to show lines instead of boxes, to reduce overhead on large grid sizes

Breaking change:

• Tile coordinates now starts with 1 instead of 0. If you defined custom accelerators, you need to increase all coordinates by 1.
• Tiling will not work on coordinates cotnaining 0.

New and changed functionality:

• Tile coordinates can be specified from right (down) edge by using negative nubmer, i.e. -3:-1 -4:-2
• Tile coordinates can be specified as float in range 0.0 .. 1.0, prefixed by "~", i.e. ~0.1:~0.2 ~0.5:~0.6
• All styles of tile coordinates can be mixed and matched, i.e. 2:-3 ~0.5:-1
• Fixed rounding error for shortcuts window placement
• On changed grid size, you will get a visual feedback - briefly showing grid lines
• You can make auto tiling hotkeys global
• gnome-shell version to 42

Fix margins on presets

Fix for oversubscribing to keyboard events for global shortcuts
Fix for gnome-shell version check being overly restricted since v40, now checking minor version too.

Support of gnome-shell v 40.0

Most recent code update in gnome caused gnome-terminal to stop move under gTile.
This release contains hack to make it move again.

Mouse interface is broken - hover over gTile window buttons is not working, size of grid is nto correctly set on change, buttons are not reacting etc. Part of grid sometimes became unselectable.
This is only partial fix for above problem that I found so far.

Contain fixes for multi-screen config. Now supporting screen size changes through RDP.

No new features
Fixing bugs
Grid not showing after disabling animation
Warning in journalctl due to extra removeChrome
Changes to prefs not saving

This release creates a bunch of warnings in gnome-shell, due to deprecation/removing several API calls, and more strict JS and API checking.
