Any reason why the current setup is all-or-nothing?
I'm not sure what you mean by "having the inside border setup to
follow resizehints, but the outside border does not follow
resizehints"? Handling resizehints doesn't have an effect on borders,
it has an effect on the window. An application can for instance say "I
want to be resized in steps of 5 pixels only" or "I want to be
precisely this size". When resizehints handling is enabled, dwm will
honor those requests, otherwise it'll simply say "this is your size,
deal with it". I believe there's not much between all or nothing there
(other than being able to handle/ignore specific hints, but I doubt
that's what you meant).
Sorry, I think I don't think I was very precise. I have my setup as
follows. For the following layout, "tile" assigns sizes to windows
A,B,C,D (in that order).
+------+---+
| | B |
| +---+
| A | C |
| +---+
| | D |
+------+---+
I have "tile" set the height of A *precisely* to wh (A->h = wh).
Resize hints are used for the width (A->w = A->basew + n*A->incw for
some n such that |A->w - mfact*ww| < A->incw). For B and C, the width
is set precisely (B->w = ww - A->w), and resize hints are used for
the height.
So I believe there is something between all or nothing (i.e.
"something" :)), which is to follow resize hints for one dimension
only. I was just wondering why others would prefer one setting over
another.
