Tiling #13

markox92 · 2024-05-12T16:29:57Z

I have a question, is seelen natively support tiling or we need to install other software like komorebi, glaze and etc. ?
Another things, I have installed seelen and only what works for me is top bar and that is all, can you explain how this software actual is should to works?

eythaann · 2024-05-12T16:37:14Z

Hi @markox92 Seelen UI has its own Tiling Manager and is currently out of the box so it should work without the user doing any configuration.

eythaann · 2024-05-12T16:39:48Z

about the reason of why only the topbar is working for you, is a bug that I have to fix, sometimes the app does start correctly but is literally random. just restartaring the app should works

markox92 · 2024-05-12T16:44:04Z

Yes, I tried to restart, and the same thing is happening - only the top bar is showing... Does this app require admin permission to work or not?

eythaann · 2024-05-12T16:44:54Z

Admin is recommended but not obligatory.

eythaann · 2024-05-12T16:46:21Z

hmm I will add a report option on settings to share the logs, but for now, can you send me the logs on:
C:\Users\{{USER}}\AppData\Local\com.seelen.seelen-ui\logs
and the settings file path you can find it clicking on open settings:

Failed to get current virtual desktop is the error, the incorporated Tiling Manager uses the native Virtual Desktops of windows, I will suppose that you're using windows 10 right?

markox92 · 2024-05-12T17:22:25Z

Windows 11

eythaann · 2024-05-12T17:33:08Z

can you try create some virtual desktops an restart the app? maybe it could fix it.
if not, I will made some changes in the code of vDesktops to test and made a update to see if thats fix this problem.
Also, I don't have a way to replicate this but I see that is a fresh installation of win11, let me test in a Virtual Box to see if I can replicate it.

markox92 · 2024-05-12T17:42:40Z

Yes creating two virtual desktop and restarting Seelen is help, problem is with my 2nd monitor I can't use it while Seelen is running.

eythaann · 2024-05-12T17:51:06Z

Great!, now I can fix this on the next version. Also can you explain me why is unusable the second monitor?, I will add support for multimonitors in v2.0 but for now the behavior of multimonitor to me is unknown because I develop in a laptop, also I'm constantly moving of city, maybe I should buy a portable monitor.

markox92 · 2024-05-12T17:53:04Z

When i try to move window to 2nd monitor they simple jump to first one, like that Seelen control only one monitor, Also top bar is showing only on this first (primary) monitor.

eythaann · 2024-05-12T18:10:30Z

Hmm let me see if I can work on multimonitor support for the WManager and the others widgets in the next weeks, I will advice you in this thread. You can disable the WM and use others alternative like Komorebi or GlazeWM if you wants only the topbar and/or the dock for now.

@markox92 now multi-monitor is working for toolbar and the dock/taskbar, in the latest build: https://github.com/eythaann/Seelen-UI/releases/tag/v1.3.3 , the support for the window manager is incoming.

markox92 · 2024-05-20T00:39:55Z

OK thanks, I will test it tomorrow.
