LeopardWM is an open-source tiling window manager for Windows 10 and 11 that takes a scroll-first approach inspired by niri and PaperWM. Windows sit on a horizontal strip and the monitor acts as a viewport that scrolls over them, so navigation stays spatially consistent as windows are added — instead of constantly rebuilding split trees. Written in Rust on top of the Win32 API.
What's new in 0.3.3
Fixes
LeopardWM no longer crashes when resizing a window's height in a column with 20 or more windows.
Alt shortcuts no longer count as an extra key press when LeopardWM decides whether to undo an app's startup maximize. The unused key LeopardWM taps to keep the menu bar inactive is now ignored; key presses sent by other programs, such as AutoHotkey or on-screen keyboards, still count.
Windows that ignore queued moves are now detected even after LeopardWM has been moving them for more than ten seconds. They now slide with the other windows instead of jumping into place when the scroll ends.
An app's maximize button now returns when the app responds again after stalling during LeopardWM shutdown. If the app stops answering after its window style is restored, LeopardWM queues the frame refresh instead of leaving it unfinished.
Quitting LeopardWM now brings other windows back on screen even if one app stalls during its recovery move. Emergency recovery waits briefly for each move instead of letting one blocked app leave the remaining windows off screen.
lwm move --help and lwm doctor windows --help now describe every option. move mentions moving a column to either end of the strip, and --delay says it also waits before --watch starts.
