Beautiful Window Management in Squeak

Window Acrobatics Title Image

Window Acrobatics bundles a number of ways you are used to interacting with your windows and puts them right into your Squeak image. Current components of Window Acrobatics include

  • The Window Aligner
    • A tool that lets you align windows to specific parts of your screen easily as well as arrange them into tiles.
  • The Expose View
    • An overview of all currently open windows that lets you select and thus bring to front a window.
  • The Window Switcher
    • A switching tool that lets you cycle over your windows and switch between different Spaces.

Installation

Stable release

Simply download the newest .sar file from the releases section and drag it into your image.

Latest version

Do the following in a workspace:

Metacello new
	baseline: #WindowAcrobatics;
	repository: 'github://hpi-swa-teaching/WindowAcrobatics/packages';
	load.

You may need to activate WindowAcrobatics explicitly -- just follow the post-install instructions in your image!
