08:15 wlb: wayland-protocols Issue #198 opened by Jonas Ådahl (jadahl) Add protocol for making windows magnetic to each other https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/issues/198 [New Protocol]
08:28 kennylevinsen: jadahl: I will be disappointed if I read that spec and it does not describe windows pushing against each other
08:29 YaLTeR[m]: I will be disappointed if the induced electric field is not specific
08:32 kennylevinsen: "what are you doing?" "I'm simulating plasma containment fields using xdg top-levels"
08:35 jadahl: kennylevinsen: hah, the most granular would of course be strengt h of magnetic field and direction of each :P
08:36 jadahl: or perhaps a separate wl_buffer with approximation of the direction of the magnetic field across the whole material
08:37 ifreund: mixing magnetic fields with wobbly windows would be fun
08:41 kennylevinsen:wonders what would happen with VR compositors and 3D window spaces
08:41 kennylevinsen: "God damnit the context menu for stuck to the back of this other window"
08:42 kennylevinsen: *got
08:44 vyivel: sounds like it could be an extra xdg_dialog_v1 property
08:46 any1: ifreund: If you add wobbly windows to the mix, you'll get radio waves
08:46 jadahl: vyivel: the point of a separate interface is to make it optional
08:46 vyivel: sure
09:57 MrCooper: zamundaaa[m]: FWIW, sub-surfaces aren't confined to the region of their parent
13:02 zukunf: greets
13:04 zukunf: wasn't wayland in libera?
13:04 zukunf: what sort of utilities does wayland-utils have? Are they useful?
13:05 zukunf: is egl-wayland of any use?
13:54 vyivel: zukunf: afaik no; wayland-info; occasionally, for figuring out what a compositor supports(; idk)
15:22 zzag: kennylevinsen: heh in kwin, you could say "stimulating an electric border by gently moving the pointer up and down"
15:22 zzag: hot edges are called electric borders for some reason...
15:22 zzag:runs away...
