Vaela 1.1.2

Vaela 1.1.2 fixes tiling when Vaela runs on more than one monitor.

What's fixed

• Each monitor tiles its own windows. A window now stays on its monitor until you drag it to another or use KWin's Window to Next Screen. Before, Scrollable could slide a column across the edge, and the window would then join the other monitor's layout.
• Scrollable: each monitor centres its own focused column, so Meta+Left/Right on one monitor no longer shifts the windows on the other. Columns that would slide onto a neighbouring monitor wait off-screen until you scroll to them.
• Auto Tiling: when the last row has fewer windows than the rows above (3 or 5 windows, say), they now share the whole width instead of leaving a hole. Widening a window fills the screen, and the gap you set is the only space between windows and around the edges.
• Meta+Left/Right now focus the window to the left or right in Auto Tiling too, instead of Plasma's quick tiling pulling a window out of the grid. A window dragged to a screen edge goes back into the grid.
• Layout keys follow the focused window's monitor, wherever the mouse pointer is.

Tested on two monitors of the same size and of different sizes, with gaps of 0, 8 and 20 px, for 1 to 5 windows per monitor in both tiling modes: 1,065 layout checks.

Requirements

• Fedora 44 or 45, x86_64, with current updates: both releases ship KWin 6.7.5, and the RPM requires exactly that version.
• Check your release with rpm -E %fedora, then pick the matching file below.

Install

Fedora Atomic (Bazzite, Kinoite, Silverblue), Fedora 45:

rpm-ostree install ./vaela-desktop-1.1.2-1.fc45.x86_64.rpm

Upgrading from an earlier Vaela RPM:

rpm-ostree install --uninstall vaela-desktop ./vaela-desktop-1.1.2-1.fc45.x86_64.rpm

Fedora Workstation:

sudo dnf install ./vaela-desktop-1.1.2-1.fc45.x86_64.rpm

On Fedora 44, use the fc44 file instead. Log out and choose Vaela at the login screen.
