Installation

The documented release path is Linux on an X11 session. Download an .AppImage or .deb from the Grid Screen releases page.

AppImage​

chmod +x grid-screen_*.AppImage
./grid-screen_*.AppImage

Debian or Ubuntu package​

sudo dpkg -i grid-screen_*.deb

Requirements​

  • A Linux desktop running an X11 session.
  • An EWMH-capable window manager for the intended arrangement path.
  • X11 access through DISPLAY.

Grid Screen reports the session type, EWMH support, current workspace, connected screen information, and XRandR status in the application. The current X11 adapter reports XRandR as unavailable and derives its work area from _NET_WORKAREA; it does not implement native multi-monitor XRandR arrangement.

Platform notes​

  • X11: window enumeration and movement are the supported workflow.
  • Wayland: toplevel enumeration may be available, but windows are marked non-movable and arrangement is rejected.
  • Other platforms: no product support claim is made by this documentation.
