unexpected tiling window manager bonus: image popovers immediately get tiled to the same size

I never really got into these things because I guess it never occurred to me that they would have pleasant margin options for single app configs, which for some reason I kinda prefer (tiled round rect windows and drop shadows at 0px margin and padding look weird, to me)

I've used Moom ( [https://manytricks.com/moom/](https://manytricks.com/moom/)) for years, it’s great.

now I’m playing with Amethyst ( [https://manytricks.com/moom/](https://manytricks.com/moom/)) instead.


![screenshot of a computer desktop with the mastodon application Ivory open and filling nearly the entire screen. floating over Ivory’s main window is an image open in a window about 1/3 the size of the main window by volume, which seems to have been the default way to “show image” since lightbox.js ten or fifteen years ago or whatever.](./112230336597931563.png)

![the same image loaded on the same computer with nothing changed except that Amethyst is running and instantly yoinked the image to fill the entire screen, which is always what I wanted when I tell the computer to “show image” or whatever, instead of lightbox.js style nonsense](./112230337935762318.png)
