The issue where a terminal popped up was fixed pretty quick - it’s in the current v3.1.1 release. I’ve got a few more stability fixes coming up in a release later today as well

Re. the status bar breaking on sleep - will have a fix for this sometime next week. Were there other issues you came across?

(Dev for GlazeWM, coming to this thread super late!)

What apps did you find were bugging out? The default handling has been tweaked and improved a lot over the years but there's still some edge cases that are tough to handle

First of all, thanks for the detailed explanation. It's helped clear up my concerns. Will have to do a bit more reading, but GPL sounds like it'd be a good choice.

I should've clarified to mean the open-source Windows community in my earlier comment.

Interesting. What happens if someone were to yoink part of the code for their own project (either personal or commercial)? Would they then have to open source that project under GPL?

It might just be overthinking on my part, but it'd be a shame to somehow negatively affect the Windows customization community. There's so many paid desktop customization tools out there for Windows and many of the most prominent ricing tools are closed source.

Currently there's no license, but looking to add one ASAP.

Your project looks really cool, but unfortunately I'd be looking to limit distribution of the software for profit. GPL seems like it'd be the most appropriate, but I'm by no means an expert on this stuff.

Desktop Window Manager (DWM) is the name of the built-in window manager for Windows

You're completely right. Can't seem to change it this late after posting though.

Yeah exactly, FancyZones feels like a bit of an upgrade over the built-in tiling (eg. with Win+Left/Right). It doesn't quite compare to keyboard-driven TWMs like i3 and bspwm.
