Sticky Display

Make all windows on selected display(s) always sticky. Should work with Openbox, Fluxbox, IceWM, Xfwm, KWin, Marco, Muffin, Mutter and other EWMH compliant window managers using the X11 window system. Therefore, this project provides dynamic tiling for XFCE, LXDE, LXQt, KDE and GNOME (Mate, Deepin, Cinnamon, Budgie) based desktop environments.

Simply keep your current window manager and install sticky-display on top of it. Once enabled, the window manager will sticky all windows that are created or enter the configured display(s).

Features

  • Socket communication commands.
  • Adjustment of layout proportions.

Installation

Arch

Run makepkg -si.

Usage

Run sticky-display.

Configuration

To find the index of a display, open a terminal emulator on the display to check and run 'sticky-display -print-display'

The configuration file is located at ~/.config/sticky-display/config.toml (or XDG_CONFIG_HOME) and is created with default values during the first startup.

Development

Requirements: go >= 1.18

Install sticky-display via remote source

Install directly from main branch:

go install github.com/seyys/sticky-display@main

Start cortile in verbose mode:

$GOPATH/bin/cortile -v

Issues

Debugging:

  • If you encounter problems start the process with sticky-display -vv, which provides additional debug outputs.
  • A log file is created by default under /tmp/sticky-display.log.
