tilewide

Description

tilewide is a stack layout for dwm. The tilewide layout is a variant of the standard tile layout. Windows added to the master area will be positioned side by side, instead of one on top of the other. This makes better use of screen space on ultra wide monitors. The stack area remains identical to the original tile layout.

By default, tilewide can be selected with [Alt]+[w].
