From ec6c1cf85943d17a61515ffd5db7bca99519ff2a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cynthia Rey Date: Thu, 21 May 2026 11:16:40 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] zed: Make "About" window floating (#57307) The about window currently is a "Normal" window, which is suboptimal on tiling window managers. This changes it to be a floating window, causing less disruptions to opinionated WM layouts.
