Yes, the top stack philosophy is pretty good, I was comfortable with ``bottom stack'' and now I'm very comfortable with this new layout, because I think that ``master window'' should be on the bottom.
However, I found a small bug, and (ATM) I'm not able to fix it, but
I'll report it...
If you have BarTop and only *one* non-minimized window and other
minimized windows you'll have a problem with one minimized window, I'll
try to explain it in ASCII art:
It should be:
[ BarTop ]
-[#2]---------- <-- minimized window
-[#1]---------- <-- non-minimized window
aoeu aoeu aoeu
aeou aoeu aoeu
<-- this line is empty (another bug?)
---------------
But it is:
[ BarTop ]
-[#1]---------- <-- minimized and non-minimized windows
aoeu aoeu aoeu
aoeu aoeu aoeu
aoeu aoeu aoeu
<-- this line is empty
---------------
If I don't have the bar it works correctly:
-[#2]---------
-[#1]---------
aoeu aoeu aoeu
aoeu aoeu aoeu
aoeu aoeu aoeu
aoeu aoeu aoeu <-- the last line isn't empty (and this is correct)
--------------

Of course, it's a useful layout especially for bsdtack users that want
the master area in the bottom (and the minimized windows near BarTop are
more readable too).
Thank you!
