You mean like a tiling wm kind of thing?

That would be kind of cool to implement. I had thought about the best
way to do this, but it is tricky, I'd need to sit down and figure out
the most natural way to combine a floating and tiling wm in this case.
I've wanted to do it for some time, just, I have had no time to do it
yet.


yes exactly, that would make Unity awesome!
Now in the near future i see a shift away from [ close ] [ minimize ] [ maximize ] coming to us.
Unity doesn't support minimizing. Either the window is closed / hidden or it is maximized|unmaximized.
So the new Window Control buttons would be [ hide ] [ Min | Max ] [ tile | float ]

What do you think?
Wouldn't that solve the problem?
