unknown1234_5Rate my setup I'm using klassy for decorations and krohnkite for tiling. I set klassy up to look like a cross between breeze and the windows 7 preset, but with outlines for tiling focus.

.Just did some customisations in <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/KDE" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KDE</a> that I'm really pleased with. Krohnkite was a little untidy in the way it tiled certain windows but its Github page had some suggestions on how to clean that up, which I've applied (with some personal tweaks). As well as applying a couple of window rules to more tightly control window sizes every window now has rounded corners and their lilac borders are once again visible, the thick border denoting the active window. I'm really loving Krohnkite's auto-Tiling windows and now they look as beautiful as they work. :ms_purple_heart: <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/KDE" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KDE</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/TilingWindowManager" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TilingWindowManager</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/Krohnkite" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Krohnkite</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/MokkaTheme" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MokkaTheme</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/Catppuccin" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Catppuccin</a>

.Krohnkite turns KDE Plasma 6 into a Tiling Window Manager! While I love KDE dearly (:blobinlove:) I must confess to a tiny touch of jealousy regarding Tiling Window Managers [TWMs] like Hyprland, Sway and i3. On KDE I fight with window placement more than is probably healthy. Open a handful of programs of various window sizes and watch desktop space become tricky to manage. Virtual desktops ease the situation a little but not completely. Tiling Window Managers' big sell is they do all that fussy placement for you: new windows snap into place while existing windows simply resize to accommodate....automatically. It's a seductive idea. You also get a brace of keyboard shortcuts to control focus or change layout schemes, and so on. I was looking at Hyprland in particular. Problem is, Hyprland is quite fussy to set up. It involves that old Linux trope: config files and the terminal. Now, this is within my reach, skills-wise. I've learned a lot in the last two years. While undoubtedly my idea of fun It'd be somewhat of a pain and probably time-consuming getting everything the way I want it. I've been dithering yea/nay about trying it for some time. But then I stumbled on an interesting compromise - Krohnkite! <a href="https://github.com/esjeon/krohnkite" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Github link</a> Krohnkite is a simple Kwin Script that you load into KDE settings and with the click of a toggle box gives you that TWM magic, no fuss no muss, right there in Plasma 6! I've been using it for a day now and so far it's really cool. :ablobdance: If you'd like to try it you'll find it in KDE Settings: System Settings > Window Management > Kwin Scripts > ⭐Get New... There's not much in there so it'll be easy to spot, and it's a tiny download so it takes mere seconds. Then you'll see it listed in Kwin Scripts with a config button for you to play around with. Top tip: to apply changes to Krohnkite, toggle Krohnkite off <apply> then back on again <apply>; you don't need to restart Plasma itself. Let me know if any of you folks try it! ~U~ <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/KDE" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KDE</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/Plasma6" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Plasma6</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/TilingWindowManager" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TilingWindowManager</a> <a href="https://kitty.social/tags/Krohnkite" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Krohnkite</a>

Anupam 🇮🇳《ミ》λ≡<a href="https://hachyderm.io/@BoydStephenSmithJr" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@BoydStephenSmithJr</a> I used <a href="https://social.id1.in/tags/polonium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Polonium</a> for quite a while, and then switched to <a href="https://social.id1.in/tags/krohnkite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Krohnkite</a>.
