Or with some manual compiling of things: https://github.com/elementary/gala/wiki/Experimenting-with-Wayland

As you can see here, here, here and here some work was done long ago to introduce different tiling options but this feature was never top priority for head dev.

it was broken here https://github.com/elementary/gala/pull/1304/commits. I'm too lazy to revert that code but it's possible to fix the gtk2 dimm bug (which possibly also fixes the rest too)

Report this issue on GitHub, please https://github.com/elementary/gala/issues

For hiding applications from overview, or showing only windows of the focused app you would need to patch gala, the window manager. It is written mostly in vala, and uses libmutter (the same lib for gnome-shell's window management) underneath. Apparently it has a "plugin" system, but I'm not versed enough that those plugins have to be there at compile time or can be separately compiled. Here's the code: https://github.com/elementary/gala

There’s a link to a wiki on that project board with that info :) https://github.com/elementary/gala/wiki/Experimenting-with-Wayland

It's this bug https://github.com/elementary/dock/issues/64 I proposed a workaround for Caprine in https://github.com/flathub/com.sindresorhus.Caprine/pull/5

Plank is also pretty easy -- git clone it from https://github.com/elementary/dock, cd into the Dock directory, and use pretty much the same instructions to get it compiled and installed:

It's a known issue. Check this link.

Well https://github.com/elementary/dock/pull/61 did get me closer, but sadly the indicators are flat - really just wanted the monochromatic dots like in the pics.

Actually, just realized this is still open, so it probably will happen: https://github.com/elementary/dock/issues/30
