how to set window as sidebar

asked 2012-12-08 09:35:12 +0000

Anonymous

I wanna have system monitor on my right side. Windows Vista had this feature called sidebar. I wanna configure conky/gkrellm/... to be sidebar - unmovable window on the right of my screen. This should be shown with containers - not covering (as floating window) nor on the desktop (part of wallpaper, covered by containers).

What I want: (window and sidebar don't cover each other, also sidebar is unmovable - not act as normal container - ie. ability to move, change size...)

i3 does not support dock areas on the left or right side of the screen as of v4.3 (and v4.4).

If you care, please send a patch :-).

I would really like this functionality as well. Would it be a big job to add? Where in the code to look first?
