Good evening guys, I would like to know if it is possible to get the resize of the wm tilling in a DE as xfce.

Automatic, i.e. simultaneous resizing of side-by-side (tiled) windows works with xpytile , a Python script for XFCE. xpytile offers several tiles for automatic tiling (which can be selected and turned on/off per workspace) as well as that simultaneous resizing of docked windows. https://github.com/…
