DWM nmaster question

kolbycrouch · 2009-04-13 00:46:40

so i recently figured out that the way to have mutliple tiles in the master are is to use the patch nmaster, problem is that the latest nmaster patch is for 4.7 and im running 5.4
does anyone know of a patch that does this for 5.4 or an nmaster for 5.4? this is the only feature thats troubling me about dwm at the moment i may even downgrade if i have to

sorry please delete this thread or the other one, firefox froze up on me and i got a little impatient

This is the wrong place to ask. Try the dwm mailing list or IRC channel.

sorry i figured that, but i cant find an answer, no one replys on irc and im a bit noobish and have never used a mailing list

there is an updated patch and discussion about it here, here http://www.mail-archive.com/dwm@suckles … 06353.html

thank you very much, may i ask one question then this thread can go, could you tell me how im supposed to apply this patch, do i need to copy some part of that and paste it in a .c file, if you could help me apply this i would be very grateful

There are directions on how to apply patches on the dwm wiki. Save that attached code as a .diff and follow the instructions found there.

thank you, but could you tell me what part of that code to save, its very confusing

I wanted to try this anyway, so i cleaned the patch from here and it works fine for me.

new patch is here
new stock config.h you you should start with is here unless you want to change the keys and other stuff in your old config.h

patch -p1 -i ../nmaster-5.4.patch
alt+shift h and l swaps from and to master area in that config.h and it defaults to 2 windows in master.

/edit later in the duscussion they are changing more things, this is just the first patch that was posted.

Droog, are you going to submit to the ML?

I'm not on the ml yet, I've only been using dwm for 2 days.

I got it off their ML, the only things i fixed was it was malformed in like 5 places and was supposed to be applied after 2 other patches the op uses so it failed, I just made it apply to vanilla 5.4, not sure if they would want it on their list.

Set resizehints to 'True' in "config.h" .

hmm, thank you nezmer, actually it was set to true, setting it to false worked though
