How to disable Spacemacs from auto-balancing the split windows?

Question

I am using Spacemacs and after using the splitting windows feature, either by splitting horizontally or vertically, Spacemacs always try to balance the split windows.

For example, when pressing C-x 3 twice, I expect something like this:

++++++++++++++++
|      |   |   |
|      |   |   | 
++++++++++++++++

But Spacemacs always produces this:

++++++++++++++++
|    |    |    |
|    |    |    |
++++++++++++++++

Do you know how to disable Spacemacs from doing so?

Thank you very much!

Answer 1

Spacemacs sets window-combination-resize to t, which causes Emacs to split windows evenly. You need to add this to user-config:

(setq window-combination-resize nil)

Answer 2

The golden-ratio package does what you want.
