layouts: Nuke no_gaps_when_only

[vaxerski]

NGWO has been deprecated for a while in favor of workspace / window rules that achieve the same thing with less bugs.

Can we finally just nuke it as people keep using it?

Rip it out completely. The same functionality can be replicated with:

workspace = w[t1], gapsin:0, gapsout:0, border:0

[Eclextic]

Rip it out completely. The same functionality can be replicated with:

workspace = w[t1], gapsin:0, gapsout:0, border:0

Isn't that specifically only for the first workspace then?
So that means if you do the same on the second workspace or a named workspace it won't work?

I really don't care about this feature anyways so... :3

I use this feature, and it's not buggy for me, is there a replacement that does not imply having to set a rule per workspace?

Edit: t1 refers to the amount of tiled windows, not the workspace number, so you can burn it with fire. But please keep a comment somewhere about how to achieve this.

t Is for tiled-only clients i.e non-floating/fullscreen. Setting it to 1 because we don't want it to apply if there's more than 1 window in the workspace

So that means if you do the same on the second workspace or a named workspace it won't work?

By default, that snippet will be all workspaces. But you can set a number, range or named:

# Only workspace 1
workspace = 1, w[t1], gapsin:0, gapsout:0, border:0

# Only workspaces from 1 to 3
workspace = r[1-3], w[t1], gapsin:0, gapsout:0, border:0

# Only a specific named workspace
workspace = name:myworkspace, w[t1], gapsin:0, gapsout:0, border:0

workspace = w[t1], gapsin:0, gapsout:0, border:0

rounding=0?

thanks for the input

To fully replicate no_gaps_when_only: true, in addition to

workspace = w[t1], gapsin:0, gapsout:0, border:0

I also had to add

windowrulev2 = noborder, fullscreen:1

for maximised windows when there is more than one in a workspace.

[vaxerski]

workspace = w[t1], gapsin:0, gapsout:0, border:0
workspace = w[tg1], gapsin:0, gapsout:0, border:0
workspace = f[1], gapsin:0, gapsout:0, border:0

As listed on the wiki, enjoy

Hi! How can I possibly have my borders/etc back for floating mode. (Looks weird when BG are the same)

Scenario:

• 1 tiled window
• N floating window/s (pop ups and other stuff)

[vaxerski]

workspace = w[t1], gapsout:0, gapsin:0
workspace = w[tg1], gapsout:0, gapsin:0
workspace = f[1], gapsout:0, gapsin:0
windowrulev2 = bordersize 0, floating:0, onworkspace:w[t1]
windowrulev2 = rounding 0, floating:0, onworkspace:w[t1]
windowrulev2 = bordersize 0, floating:0, onworkspace:w[tg1]
windowrulev2 = rounding 0, floating:0, onworkspace:w[tg1]
windowrulev2 = bordersize 0, floating:0, onworkspace:f[1]
windowrulev2 = rounding 0, floating:0, onworkspace:f[1]

It would generally be a good idea to have a deprecation warning before a setting/feature is removed so end users are aware.

as discussed in another issue (I forgot the #) I put those in the release notes.
