[SOLVED] Possible to tile windows in xfce?

Hi guys,
i'm curious if there's any possibility to tile windows in xfce4. i'm very used to this nice feature from kde4/gnome/win7/etc. where you can drag/drop the window to the edge of the screen and it gets automatically adjusted, or more precisley, tiled horizontally/vertically.
i know that there are many tools/hacks avaible in the AUR but can they also be applied on xfce4/xfwm?
best regards!

xfwm4-tiling is really great and recommendable (it's available in the AUR)! tiling is a bit 'harsh' when you use more than one desktop because the distance between skipping to the next desktop and tiling is a bit too small, but ok
edit: thank you warfruit for pointing at the pkg!

  • Applescript or Action to tile windows

    I'm trying to write a script that will open two files after the user selects one of them, then tile the two windows.
    I don't see a "tile windows" command in the dictionary for CS3, so I thought I'd create an Action that selects Window>Arrange>Tile vertically, then use "do action" in the script. But nothing happens when I try to record that Action.
    Is this possible?

    Does your tile action work when manually called from within PS? When you
    record it, you probably need to explicitly treat it as a menu call
    ("insert menu item" from the actions pop-up menu).

  • Is it possible to install windows 8.1 on macbook pro late 2013?

    hi ,
    Is it possible to install windows 8.1 on late 2013 macbook pro?
    I have tried installing it twice but both of the time i got an error
    Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed. 

    Maybe people have found a solution already but yesterday I managed to install Win 8.1 as a BootCamp on my new 15" retina MBP.  I followed the steps John Guo described but with a couple of changes as his approach failed for me.
    1. Make sure you are starting from a single partition.
    2. Create the Windows install USB from the ISO and also allow BootCamp Assistant to create download the drivers - but untick the option to install windows.
    3. Open Disk Utility and create a new partition and format as MS-DOS (FAT) rather than leave as free space.
    4. Restart your Mac and use the option to boot into the Windows part of the USB not the EFI-boot.
    5. Follow the install
    6. When it comes to the drive selection select the FAT drive. Windows installer will say it cannot install here as it needs to be and NTFS partitiion (in previous atempts I always got the message to say the partitiion was using GUI partition table so could not install even though it was formatted to NTFS).
    7. The format to NTFS should work fine and install proceed.
    8. When the installer reboots the machine you will need to use the boot option to ensure you boot back into Windows.
    9. Once installed the bootcamp driver install runs automatically and for me all drivers run fine even the NVIDIA, which I've seen some people mention having issues with.
    I was inpressed with Windows automatically scaling the text to 200%, which meant it was using the full 2880x1800 resolution so everything was crisp but the windows and text was scaled nicely. I changed this 150% to give me some more real estate.
    I'm guessing that by formatting the new partition as FAT it creates a MBP within the new drive that is writable by windows but I'm not a windows guru so this is a guess. But anyway, this work perfectly.
    hope this helps some people.

  • Is it possible to install windows 7 on my macbook from a removable hard drive using boot camp? How would I do this?

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 without using BCA to install drivers and using the support 5 software for drivers on my iMac 2014?

    What I am wondering is if I can install Windows 7 on my iMac 2014 without using BCA to install drivers and using the manual download Support software without bricking my system. The issue is that I recently moved into the country without a reliable data connection, so I'd like to download all the drivers from when I'm in town generally. Any info is appreciated.

    The District is right to say what they told you they can't install Disctrict Windows 7 on your computer because they have a license agreements with MS and doing so will violate their Terms of Agreement. And you shouldn't be asking something like that to start with. If that laptop can't install Windows 7 it then your stuck with WIndows 8 unless HP has downgrade to go back to Windows 7 on it otherwise if none exist you will not get any drivers or support for it. You best luck is to find a used Windows 7 laptop and order the HP recovery media for it and wipe it clean to factory install and register it to you and that will give you a Windows 7 maching to start with.

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Satellite Pro 6100

    Is it possible to install windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 machine? I 'm currently using windows XP.
    thanks.

    Hi buddy,
    Do you really think about Windows 7 installation on many years old Satellite Pro 6100???
    In my opinion this will not work because its too old and not fast enough. Newest OS that is supported from Toshiba is Windows XP and this should be the best choice for this oldie.
    So just be satisfied with Windows XP, its a good choice for older computers! :)

  • Is it possible to install Windows 7 on Retina MacBook with a shared CD drive?

    My school provides Windows 7 Ultimate upgrades to students
    My friend installed Windows 7 normally even though it's technically an upgrade (burned the .img file to a DVD using Disk Utility and installed it through the Boot Camp Assistant tool in Snow Leopard)
    I own a 2008 MacBook which has an optical drive
    I own 1, 2 GB thumb drive and 1, 4 GB thumb drive
    Is it possible to install Windows 7 through my Retina MacBook Pro through a shared CD connection with my 2008 MacBook?
    I tried using the Boot Camp Assitant tool.
    I burned the Windows 7 upgrade .img file to a DVD with Disk Utility just like my friend
    I copied that DVD as a .cdr file to my Retina MacBook using the shared CD connection and Disk Utility, and changed the file extension to .iso
    With the Boot Camp Assistant, I set-up my 4 GB thumb drive
    When I get to the "Create a Partition for Windows" screen and I press install, I get the message "The installer disc could not be found".
    The DVD is in my 2008 MacBook and I mounted it on the Retina MacBook. The 4 GB Windows set-up thumb drive is connected to the Retina MacBook.
    I'm confused as to what I'm doing wrong.
    Any help is appreciated.

  • Is It Possible to Install Windows 7 on a GUID Partition Table Disk?

    Is it possible to install Windows 7 on a GPT disk?
    I created a RAID 0 array on my dual Xeon 5580 system and tried installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit RTM. When I got to the "Where do you want to install Windows" part I used shift-F10 to open up a command window, then I used diskpart to create a GPT with the following partitions:
    Disk 0 Part 1 -  102 MB EFI System
    Disk 0 Part 2 -  128 MB MSR
    Disk 0 Part 3 -  500 MB Primary
    Disk 0 Part 4 - 7446 GB Primary
    But there was a message "Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3 (show details)" - clicking on "show details" gave me "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style."
    What gives? I thought Windows Vista and beyond supported GPT.
    The problem with MBR is that you can't have a file system larger than 2 TB.

    I am trying to install Windows Server 2008 R2 Ent edition onto system that has an ASUS M3A78 Pro motherboard with 8GB of memory & an AMD Phenom II x3 2.6GHz Socket AM3 Processor
    (X3 710).
    I realize that this system doesn't support UEFI but I have an Adaptec 3805 RAID controller in this system that does support the advanced format hard drives, so I would think I should
    be OK there.
    Attached to the RAID controller are 3 - 1.5TB SATA Hard Drives in a RAID 5 yeilding 2.72TB's of usable space.
    I followed the following process to convert the array to GPT.
    I booted to the Server 2008 R2 Ent installation DVD.
    I select next at the language \ time & currency format \ Keyboard selection screen.
    Then I select the 'repair your computer' option at the following screen.
    I do not select the 'repair' (default) option, but instead select the radio button above it (I forget what that's labeled) working from memory here - which gives me the option to
    launch a command prompt.
    I launch diskaprt from that command prompt.
    First I selected the disk
    list disk (this displays the installed disks)
    select disk 0
    The I converted the disk to gpt
    convert gpt
    Then I created 200 MB EFI partition:
    create partition
    efi size=200
    Then I created MSR
    partition:
    create partition
    msr size=128
    Then I created primary
    partition:
    create partition
    primary
    ...and it took remaining
    available space to itself.
    I assigned drive
    letter C to this new first "primary" partition
    Assign letter=c
    I confirmed the order is:
    I confirmed the partition order is:
    ESP > MSR > DATA Partition
    After all of that I restart into the Windows installation and attempt to install by selecting the newly created primary partition and am presented with an error that states:
    “Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3. (Show details)”
    and the details show:
    "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is of the gpt partition style."
    Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to boot windows solely from an external hard drive so that it does not affect the internal drive

    Is it possible to boot windows solely from an external hard drive so that it does not affect the internal drive. I already know that you can partition the internal hard drive to do the very same. Idon't want to use any of the internal space to run windows so I'm asking if it is possible to use a flash drive or external drive through USB to run windows when it is plugged in.

    Read https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5043762?start=0&tstart=0 to discover you can't do it.

    Is it possible to have windows on another operating system and keep OS X on the original operating system ? and If yes, Would it do any changes on the original operating system ?
    Thanks in advance.

    1. On your computer, yes. Use Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, VirtualBox, or similar software.
    2. No; if you use an emulator, it may install system components. Back it up anyway.
