Does one of you guys know, how to make dwm use no borders, if there's only one window per tag (in any layout)? A border isn't needed at all in this case, would be nice imho.

Thanks!

I've only seen this referenced ones, in a 2 year old post from the dwm mailing-list.

I don't know if it will still work, and also the author states that it needs pertag and only hides the border when the bar is hidden, so it's not optimal yet, imho, but maybe someone could use it as a beginning and adapt it to work without pertag and without needing to hiding the bar?

Attached is a patch that causes dwm to remove a window's border when the 
bar is hidden, and the window is the only one visible - that is, when it 
is the only client on the tag, or the tag is in monocle mode. It's 
dependent on pertag, which I use, but it could easily be hacked to 
remove this dependency.

i have no idea how to fix this nor i dont know if i can escape some characters to make it works, i dont know if the cmd works either
because idk how C and its syntax works......i tried.

i wanted to invoke scrot cmd when "mod + printscreen" is pressed

I believe there's a comma missing after MODKEY:

+ { MODKEY XK_Print, spawn, {.v = scrotcmd } },

steve___ · 2012-01-02 14:57:37

FWIW, I remember from the dwm mailing list or irc channel there was a 'gotacha' when scrot is bound to a MODKEY. I think it was with 'scrot -s'. The consensus was to use the command 'import' from the imagemagick package.

Jokerboy, I can't see your patches on Bitbucket.
I wanted ask you something about statuscolors patch and cycle.

Anyway, happy new year to all of you.

JokerBoy · 2012-01-04 14:15:30

Well, just ask. And the missing space is caused by TEXTW <> textnw.

You can try replacing

dc.w = blw = TEXTW(m->ltsymbol);

with

dc.w = blw = textnw(m->ltsymbol, strlen(m->ltsymbol));

and so on.

and cyclelayouts https://gist.github.com/1335120

Works in dwm-6.0

Ypnose · 2012-01-04 18:07:22

Here my question
I decided to use your tweaked statuscolors but only one hunk is failing. The related lines are (in 18-dwm-6.0-statuscolors.diff):

@@ -792,29 +792,29 @@ drawbar(Monitor *m) {

I'm not a coder. Dont know what to do. Forgive me if it's boring but I really need this.

That line depends on 06-dwm-6.0-monocle_count.diff, so if you don't use monocle count you can delete that part..

Thanks a lot, this solved the problem.
But why this line is not added by default on statuscolors patches from Jasonwryan or yours, because it's unsightly?

JokerBoy · 2012-01-04 21:04:59

Edit later: 'cause ATM I'm fine with that gap.. I'll test this and maybe I'll update the patch from my repo...

Request for a patch, or some advice on how to achieve the same...

Mod-Control-[1..n] will add/remove clients on tag to/from the current view - so, if I am on tag 1 and I want to view the contents of tag 3, I Mod-Ctrl-3

Is there any way to customize that key action, so, eg., my tag 3 is mail I could use Mod-Ctrl-m to achieve the same effect?

Army · 2012-01-09 09:35:17

TAGKEYS(                 XK_m,                       2)

doesn't work?

@jasonwryan - This was possible in 5.2 as I used it for a couple of years. It involed making changes to config.h only. I'm not sure if it works in 6.0. The original post was by 'yy' on 28Aug08 21:40 -0500

#define WORKSPACEKEYS(KEY,TAGS, LAYOUT, FACT) \
        { MODKEY,                       KEY,      view,           {.ui = TAGS} }, \
        { MODKEY,                       KEY,      setlayout,      {.v =&layouts[LAYOUT]} }, \
        { MODKEY,                       KEY,      setmfact,       {.f = 1.FACT} },

And later:

        WORKSPACEKEYS(                  XK_q,                      1 << 0 | 1 << 1 | 1 << 2, 0, 55)
        WORKSPACEKEYS(                  XK_w,                      1 << 2 | 1 << 3, 1, 70)
        ...

Anyone have a working pango patch for dwm-6.0? I tried manually patching, like I always do. I'm using the 5.9 pango patch, however I get errors though, so I'm just unsure if I need to include something in my config.h, however the errors spit out dwm.c errors though.

EDIT: I'm using this patch: https://gist.github.com/1377652

I think the simplest solution is to use the toggleview function like that:

{ MODKEY|ControlMask,           XK_m,      toggleview,     {.ui = 1 << 2 } },

where statement 1 << 2 denote the third tag.

Superb! Thanks for the pointer.

After reading and mulling over this clear explanation of why tags ≠ workspaces, and trying to minimize the invasive patching of dwm (cough, pertag) I was keen to start using dwm as it was intended/to it's full potential. This keybinding means that I can fit it into the rest of my mnemonic command binds.

@steve__ thanks for the recommendation: I didn't get to actually try it as this was good to go out of the box, as it were

I'm not sure if this is the right place but i will try my luck:
is there any way to make selected window "master" comparing to next? In monsterwm i'm able to open next window after selected one (usualy selected one is master).

By default in dwm, selected master is being pushed outised master area and that is not so practical

jasonwryan · 2012-01-10 01:17:18

Do you mean attachaside?

Yes, that is what i need. Thank you very much.

One quick question: this will work for any tiling mode (like bstack, bhorizontal, tile, grid...) right?
