Good day everybody. This is my first post to this list, but I have
been using dwm for some time and am very pleased with it as my main
window manager. I've made many small changes here and there during my
[blissful :)] time with dwm, so I thought about sharing some. This
particular one was requested by a friend of mine, so I've chosen it to
be the first.
Name:
Automatic Float On Maximize
Description:
Automatically toggles floating mode (if required) when calling
togglemax(), and then toggles it once more on the second call.
I hope you find it useful.
