Hi there,
I'd like to know what functions do you really use in dwm,
because I feel, there are features I don't use. After
several months of usage, this might lead to an revision of
features, which could be externalized into patches instead
staying upstream in the default distribution.
Personnaly, I rarely/never use the following features/functions:
- titlebars of clients (I really can live without them, I never
look at them), removing titlebars could reduce the source
about 70 lines, maybe more with some restructurings
- viewall/toggleview: (I never view more than one tag per time,
although I use the other way around, tagging some
clients with more than one tag that they appear when
viewing different tags) - I haven't implemented a patch, but
this could make seltag[] obsolet, and at least the functions
I listed here, approx. yet another 50-70 lines
-> instead this feature, I would consider holding
a pertag array for client order instead, to remember the
per-tag layout correctly, this might add yet another 20-30
lines
What do you think (I know your opinions about the client title
window already, but what do you think about my second point?)
If you want to check, how it feels without titlebars, you can
apply my patch for dwm-2.2 (and hg tip):
http://suckless.org/download/dwm-2.2-notitlebar.patch
(It removes abot 70 LOC and renames drawtitle into drawclient,
which sould be done anyway).
Regards,
Hi again..
I got very much the same opinion like you, Anselm; but I really miss the
togglemax-view feature :/
Maximizing to a specific tag is very uncomfortable, I think, so I would
really like to have the titlebars removed and the togglemax inserted again.

PS: I also don't like the "View all windows in one tag"-function (don't
know the name) 'cause if you press the buttons by mistake there are
very often indication errors afterwards..:/
