v0.4.0

Features & Improvements

• New layout options window.single.margin and window.single.border_size allow specifying margin, border for single windows under top-level tabs. (#10)
• New widget option sync_with on BonsaiBar to control which (screen's) Bonsai layout state is rendered on the widget. (#9)
• New layout option tab_bar.hide_L1_when_bonsai_bar_on_screen makes multi-screen setups smoother.
  • The L1 (top level) tab bar can be hidden away if there is a BonsaiBar widget available on a screen, and the bar would be shown if there was not a widget present.
  • This also makes the BonsaiBar widget usage simpler - we no longer need to configure L1.tab_bar.hide_when = "always" on our layout to explicitly hide away the L1 bar.

Fixes

• Fullscreening windows should work properly now. (#11)
• Fix a typo that was causing the BonsaiBar widget to not clean up properly on reload/restart
• Fixed an obscure bug where in some rare cases, killing a background window would not focus the correct MRU window.

v0.3.0

Features & Improvements

• The BonsaiBar widget now supports tab.width = "auto" just like the Bonsai layout's tab_bar.tab.width. Tabs will fit to take up as much available space as possible. (#8)
• The BonsaiBar widget's length config now supports the special values bar.CALCULATED and bar.STRETCH like other qtile widgets.
• Tabs in both the Bonsai layout and the BonsaiBar widget can now be configured with 4-sided values for margin and padding. Values can be provided in the usual [top, right, bottom, left] sequence.

Fixes

• Window-title changes are now correctly handled for updating tab titles. Previously it didn't used to trigger a re-render until you switched focus to a different window. (#7)

Miscellaneous

• You can now install the package from the AUR with your favorite AUR-helper. For example: yay -S qtile-bonsai

v0.2.0

Breaking Changes

• The tab_bar.tab.min_width has been dropped in favor of tab_bar.tab.width which can take an integer or the value "auto". (#3)
  • So tabs can either be of fixed width or have an automatic flex-width based on available space. Check the docs for more details.

Features & Improvements

• A new interaction mode called container-select-mode is now available that lets you visually select parents/containers of windows and invoke split/tab operations over larger areas.
  • A new section has been added in the visual guide to demonstrate this.
  • Check the commands docs for details on the 3 new commands added for this mode.
• A new BonsaiBar widget is available for use on the qtile bar. It can act as a replacement for the Bonsai layout's built-in tab-bar for the outermost/top-level tabs. It also has an indicator for when branch-select-mode is active. (#5)
  • A new documentation section has been added for it.
• Two new commands - focus_nth_tab(), focus_nth_window() - are now available that allow faster access to tabs/windows via keybindings. They provide params that allow contextual nth selections.
  • Two new sections have been added in the visual guide to demonstrate them.
  • Check the commands docs for details.
• There is now basic mouse support - clicking on individual tabs on tab-bars will activate the corresponding tab. (#4)
• When there are no windows open yet, and spawn_split() is invoked, it now conveniently creates the first window. Previously you had to start things off with a spawn_tab().
• A new config option tab_bar.tab.title_provider is available that lets you control the title on tabs via a callback function.
  • For example, you could configure it to have the title of the focused window under the tab. Check the docs for the signature and a sample implementation.

Miscellaneous

• The default colors for borders and tab background/foregrounds have been tweaked to be a little more vivid.
