I need extremely small tiling windows, say something with only a width/height of 10px. However, by experimentation I found that my window manager Sway (and likely also i3) has a hard-coded minimum height of 60px and minimum width of 100px.

So, dear Linux gurus, do you know of a window manager with configurable minimum tiling window size? Or with no minimum at all? Bonus point for running natively on Wayland.

    For the burn-in part, I don’t know about Wayland, but with X11, I’m pretty sure that you can use RANDR – see the xrandr command – to entirely slice part of the screen away. Like, you don’t need to put dummy windows there or whatever, and that’ll work with any WM.

      Cool, thanks! Look like there are things like xrandr for Wayland with this functionality. the burn-in is not so bad right now but I’ll keep this in mind.
