There is no green or red text in a diff file, it's just a plain text file. Some viewers will syntax-highlight it that way though. Lines starting with "+" are to be added. Lines starting with "-" are to be removed. Lines starting with neither of these are just to provide context.

I just had a brief experiment with GNOME 3.10 in combination with DWM. I'm sure most of you are aware of the new GtkHeader widget, which basically takes away all the window manager decorations and lets the client have its own close button. It looks nice (imo) but 1) only very few core GNOME applications use it at the moment (only two in my setup) and 2) DWM's borders dissapear around these applications.

Before I make myself ridiculous by asking about this issue on the Suckless mailing list, I'd like to know: is there a workaround you can think of? I think this will also affect other tiling window managers (honestly, I haven't tested) that use Xlib.

Trilby · 2013-09-30 11:17:33

I for one had not heard of this new widget - but that's not saying much, I'm not a widget fan. But I could test this in other WMs if you can give an example of one of those very few programs that use it ... preferably one with few dependencies.

Unia · 2013-09-30 11:29:04

Well, they're all GNOME applications so you're going to haul in a bit of dependencies... The two that used it in my system were Nautilus and gnome-system-monitor. I think I know which of the two you're going to pick.

Trilby · 2013-09-30 11:45:10

I just installed gnome-system-monitor (and 130MB of other stuff!), but I don't see anything like what you describe. First, the window does keep a border if my WM is set to have window borders, but I also don't see anything resembling this header widget. Does it need to be configured or activated some how?

Unia · 2013-09-30 12:00:16

Oh, I forgot to mention you have to be on [testing] to use GNOME 3.10 at the moment. Sorry

Trilby · 2013-09-30 14:19:27

Perhaps I'll revisit this when it hits the main repos then.

Unia · 2013-09-30 14:36:02

That's fine by me, thanks for initially wanting to try it out! FWIW, I also don't run testing - I just upgraded to it to see the new widget and then quickly downgraded again, not just because I also prefer stable but also out of dissapointment of how few applications actually use it. For now, and at least until GNOME 3.12, this only brings more fragmentation...

totolotto · 2013-10-13 07:16:18

Practically I use the base code, I have made only a few changes in config.h. However there is one thing I would like to change: make the selection of tags inverted BUT the statusbar should remain unchanged (i.e not inverted). If I change the selfgcolor and selbgcolor the statusbar gets affected too. Is there a patch for this and if so which one is that? Thanks.

jasonwryan · 2013-10-13 07:44:09

The statuscolors patch would make this straightforward, but it may be (a lot) more than you are looking for...

Unia · 2013-10-13 10:21:57

Change the following line in drawbar() like this:

drawtext(tags[i], col, urg & 1 << i);

to

drawtext(tags[i], col, True);

totolotto · 2013-10-13 12:46:15

Hello Unia, if I do this the normal background color for tags gets "normfgcolor" not the "normbgcolor". Otherwise the selected tags and the statusbar colors are OK.

I have found this patch for version 5.9 on suckless' site - can I use it for 6.0 too?

Unia · 2013-10-13 13:24:50

Does it work if you swap those normal colors in config.h? I think that is the quickest solution I can come up with.

totolotto · 2013-10-13 14:53:37

Unofrunately not, now the unused / empty statusbar and the text set by xsetroot pick up the "correct" colors (so they look like selected all the time). Thanks anyway, probably I will check the statuscolor patch.

There are versions for 6.0 floating around, including in my bitbucket repo :-)

Unia · 2013-10-13 19:27:40

Oh of course... Excuse me totolotto, I should not try to help people when I'm also doing homework... :eyeroll: Although I do believe this can be achied with a simple change in drawbar()...

No problem.
Well I have very basic knowledge in C so I am just hoping someone can find this out (if anybody interested at all). Meanwhile I will look into the statuscolor patch.

parazyd · 2013-11-04 17:33:04

Hello. Does anyone have uselessgaps patch for dwm 6.0? There was one before in this thread but the link went down.

Unia · 2013-11-04 17:35:54

I have one in my dwm-patches repository: https://github.com/Unia/dwm-patches

synorgy · 2013-11-04 17:36:58

I don't maintain patches, but I incorporate the patch into my 'fork' (version?) of dwm here: https://github.com/bbenne10/dwm

EDIT: Unia beat me to it

Thanks a lot!

markoer · 2013-11-17 13:10:25

anyone know how ti seperate fonts, so tags would be in bold font and title of window in regular font. Maybe there is patch which i can't find, or something simillar which will guide me forward.

ivoarch · 2013-11-18 12:21:39

@ markoer
Try this http://lists.suckless.org/dwm/att-6447/ … dfont.diff but it is quite old.
