Miracle-WM 0.5 brings several enhancements and introduces animations, aiming to create a more appealing and user-friendly experience, distinguishing it from other window managers like Hyprland.<\/p>\n<p>Key features of Miracle-WM 0.5 include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The ability to drag and drop container windows in the grid.<\/li>\n<li>Mouse-pointer movement for floating containers.<\/li>\n<li>A new mini tiling grid for floating windows.<\/li>\n<li>The implementation of command criteria compatible with i3 and sway.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bug fixes in this update tackle various issues such as fullscreen windows layering, management of maximized\/minimized windows, quirks with output reconnection, and improved animation smoothness. A substantial increase in test coverage and better build flags have also been made.<\/p>\n<p>For those interested in trying Miracle-WM, it can be installed on Ubuntu via the official Miracle-WM snap or by adding the Miracle-WM PPA for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Users need to log out of their current session and select the &#8216;miracle-wm&#8217; option at the login screen.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, Miracle-WM can be run in a window on a current desktop session using Wayland, making it ideal for testing purposes. Detailed configurations and customizations can be found in the project&#8217;s documentation.<\/p>\n<p>For a demonstration of the new features, you can watch a video by lead developer Matthew Kosarek on <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KwOp8J09Zdw\">YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/miracle-wm-org\/miracle-wm\/\">Miracle-WM GitHub<\/a> and the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/wiki.miracle-wm.org\/latest\/configuration\/introduction\/\">Miracle-WM Project Wiki<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new version of Miracle-WM, a tiling window manager based on Mir and developed by Canonical engineer Matthew Kosarek, has been released, marking its first update this year.
