hyprexpo: Feature request for setting rows and columns independently

[rukmal]

I am trying to create a hyprexpo grid with 3 rows and 4 columns (or vice versa). Looking at overview.cpp, it looks like hyprexpo creates a grid using the columns attribute in the configuration.

Is it possible to add a rows option to enable this behavior? Would you be open to a PR along these lines?

Thanks!

mrs welcome, though I fail to see how that would be displayed

I'm thinking empty space at the top and bottom, same color as the config background?

Likely by modifying the drawing process here to include a y offset:

hyprland-plugins/hyprexpo/overview.cpp

Lines 390 to 406 in b73d7b9

	Vector2D SIZE = size.value();
	Vector2D tileSize = (SIZE / SIDE_LENGTH);
	Vector2D tileRenderSize = (SIZE - Vector2D{GAPSIZE, GAPSIZE} * (SIDE_LENGTH - 1)) / SIDE_LENGTH;
	g_pHyprOpenGL->clear(BG_COLOR.stripA());
	for (size_t y = 0; y < SIDE_LENGTH; ++y) {
	for (size_t x = 0; x < SIDE_LENGTH; ++x) {
	CBox texbox = {x * tileRenderSize.x + x * GAPSIZE, y * tileRenderSize.y + y * GAPSIZE, tileRenderSize.x, tileRenderSize.y};
	texbox.scale(pMonitor->scale).translate(pos.value());
	texbox.round();
	CRegion damage{0, 0, INT16_MAX, INT16_MAX};
	g_pHyprOpenGL->renderTextureInternalWithDamage(images[x + y * SIDE_LENGTH].fb.m_cTex, &texbox, 1.0, &damage);
	}
	}
	}

fair enough
