Patches

Patches and their explanation and what they do

actualfullscreen

Actually toggle fullscreen for a window, instead of toggling the status bar and the monocle layout.

# attachaside

Make new clients get attached and focused in the stacking area instead of always becoming the new master. It's basically an attachabove modification.

autoresize

By default, windows that are not visible when requesting a resize/move won't get resized/moved. With this patch, they will.

autostart

This patch will make dwm run "/.dwm/autostart_blocking.sh" and "/.dwm/autostart.sh &" before entering the handler loop. One or both of these files can be ommited. Be aware that dwm will not startup as long as autostart_blocking.sh is running and will stay completely unresponsive. For obvious reasons it is generally a bad idea to start X-applications here :)

barpadding

This patch adds variables for verticle and horizontal space between the statusbar and the edge of the screen; unlike statuspadding, which adds padding between the bar's content and the edge of the bar. This patch adds two new variables (both default to 10) to config.def.h:

• vertpad (amount of vertical padding)
• sidepad (amount of padding either side of the bar)

colorbar

This patch lets you change the foreground and background color of every statusbar element. Simply change the RGB values in the config.def.h.

fancybar

This patch provides a status bar that shows the titles of all visible windows (as opposed to showing just the selected one). When the titles don't completely fit, they're cropped. The title of the selected window is inverted.

stacker

This patch provides comprehensive utilities for managing the client stack. It implements two new commands: focusstack (which is a replacement for the original focusstack command) and pushstack. The first one is for focusing clients while the second one moves clients around the stack. Both commands take the same kind of argument:

• Pass PREVSEL to focus/push the previously selected client in the current tagset.
• Pass INC(+/-inc) to focus/push relatively to the selected client. This will wrap around the stack limits.
• Pass a positive number to focus/push relatively to the beginning of the stack. Out of limit values will be truncated to the position of the last visible client and won't wrap around.
• Pass a negative number to focus/push relatively to the last visible client in the stack. Here -1 means the last client, -2 the previous to last client, etc. Out of limit values will be truncated to the position of the first visible client (0) and won't wrap around.

Default key bindings

There are two parallel sets of bindings: one for the focus* family and the other for the push* family. The keys are the same for both sets but they do differ in the modifiers: simply MODKEY for the focus* family and MODKEY|ShiftMask for the push* family.

---------------------------------------
 \     PREVSEL    Previously selected
 j     INC(+1)    Next to selected
 k     INC(-1)    Previous to selected
 q       0        First position
 a       1        Second position
 z       2        Third position
 x      -1        Last position

The q, a, z keys are aligned more or less vertically in the us keyboard layout. They are intended to be used as quick positional shortcuts to specific applications. So if you have 9 tags you get 9*3=27 shortcuts in a two-level hierarchy of clients. The key is above theTabkey and it's intended to complement the "move to previously selected tag" function of dwm at the intra-tag level. Finally, thexkey is like "I don't care so much about you just right now but you can still live in this tag". Notice thatMODKEY|ShiftMask+qcollides with the default binding for quitting dwm, which stacker changes toMODKEY|ShiftMask+BackSpace`.

systray

A simple system tray implementation. Multi-monitor is also supported. The tray follows the selected monitor. In case icons disappear when toggling the bar, try a different font size in dwm. This has helped at least in one case with pidgin.
