Amethyst: Configure default layout based on screen dimensions

Created on 3 Mar 2015  ·  3Comments  ·  Source: ianyh/Amethyst

It would be very useful to me to be able to configure essentially layout breakpoints. If my screen real estate ever is <= 1920x1080 i basically want Fullscreen. If it's wider or taller I might want something else.

I'd need to think through what the configuration should look like. There's enough different form factors that it could get complicated, but figured I'd throw this out there!

As a user of an external monitor which is rotated into portrait mode, having a default of 'wide' layout on monitors with width < height resolution would be a nice to have. Great tool from a guy who has to use a Mac now and misses xmonad.

Hm. Do your resolutions change a lot? Is there a reason just switching layouts normally doesn't work?

My resolutions regularly change between > 1920x1080 and 1280x800 (unplugging and plugging in external monitors from my 13" MBP). More importantly, I switch between virtual desktops quite regularly. It'd be awesome to have my external monitor default to Wide while my onboard monitor always defaulted to full.

But no, switching manually is not a huge deal.
