Stacking window managers were invented in XEROX PARC in early 1970s.
Tiling window managers were invented in XEROX PARC in late 1970s.
For the last 50 years we haven't come up with a new way of doing windows.
@icantcode on second thought I don’t quite like the concept of resizing window depth. My argument for this is that overlapping windows imply that we have 3D window managers, because it’s organized in 3D space, one on top of the other. We just don’t get finite control? We have to arrange them like that. But if we had a fourth dimensional window manager that implies the fourth dimension would become that finite control thing and we would have control over the third dimension. Blursed
@icantcode it also sort of implies that windows will take on the shape of three dimensional objects… you know what fuck you turns your web browser into a torushttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torus
