It's hard to imagine what you are thinking of for an interface. The interface I'm imagining would be that you would press some key combination and it would "reveal" the "frame borders" (that are always present, but not always visible) in a translucent color over top of the windows: (Normal view:) .--------Desktop----------. | | | .-------. | | | win 1 | | | | | .-------. | | '-------' | win 2 | | | | | | | | | | | '-------' | '-------------------------' After pressing "reveal frames" key combination (with one frame border in place), it shows you the frame border in a translucent color: .--------Desktop----------. | : | | .-------. : | | | win 1 | : | | | | .----:--. | | '-------' | win:2 | | | | : | | | | : | | | '----:--' | '-------------------------' and you could drag the frame borders around or create new ones by dragging from one of the edges of the screen: .--------Desktop----------. | : | | .-------. : | | | win 1 | : | | | | : .-------. | | '-------' : | win 2 | | |...........: | | | | : | | | | : '-------' | '-------------------------' and then, while the frames are revealed, if you drag a window into one of them, it would maximize inside it: .--------Desktop----------. | | | | .-------. | | | | win 1 | | | | | | | win 2 | | '-------' | | |...........| | | | | | | | '-------------------------' (then drag win 1 into the top left pane:) .--------Desktop----------. | | | | win 1 | | | | | | | win 2 | | | | |-----------| | | | | | | | '-------------------------' Then, after a window was maximized inside of a frame, you could "reveal frames" and drag the frame border to resize two windows at once: .--------Desktop----------. | | | | win 1 | | | | | | | win 2 | | | | |-------| | | | | | | | '-------------------------' This part would be similar to Bug 133927. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 59338 *** How is this a duplicate of "Ion-like window layout"? |
