Picom backend optimization
I'm using a tiling window manager (LeftWM) and picom with experimental backends for compositing. I'm running into issues configuring picom for use on my laptop when I am on battery power. Two problems arise:

Is there a good tutorial for writing an X11 Tiling Window manager in Rust?
I've looked at these: - DWM: A popular, compact WM written in C - LeftWM: A popular, configurable WM written in Rust - GabelstaplerWM: An obscure, compact WM written in Rust - XCB DWM: An abandoned rewrite of DWM using XCB

Different window managers (e.g. tiling) on Windows?
In particular, I think that "ultrawide-vertical-stack" (based on "CenterMain" from LeftWM) is quite close to what you are looking for. Give it a try with komorebic change-layout ultrawide-vertical-stack!

Once again I'm happy to answer any questions, and I want to give a special thanks to nog, leftwm and umberwm, whose work this project borrows from and builds upon.

Different window managers (e.g. tiling) on Windows?
Have you looked into methods of hotkeying or auto-removing windows titlebars once a window belongs to a container (maybe they can auto-restore if a window is floated/unmanaged)? I know that workspacer and win3m have something like this.
