@quirk you can break the tiling and overlap.
tiling is like having a new assistant- at first you want them to do everything your way, and you wonder where they got their methods, and within a week its great to have all that placement done for you- you open a window, you know where it goes, you can put it where you want it to be to work with it, and all that business of placement and resizing is something you can put in the past, basically.
going back to stacking wm is so tedious- like why would i ever want to do this? but you can if you want.
