Dynamic LayoutManager

Shown activities

It shows config.max_activities activities in a row. If there are more activities than that, you can scroll through them with mouse forward/backward buttons or by dragging on an activity in minimal mode.

Active activities

It keeps maximum config.max_active activities in compact mode. You can put an activity in compact mode by left clicking on it.

If there are already config.max_active activities in compact mode, the active one that is farther from the new one will be put in minimal mode.

Configuration
