I've also patched dwm to put the bar above other windows, which is
fine regarding the way I use it, giving it a quick glance now and
then. It's a very simple patch that modifies updategeom() a bit:
1619c1619
< wy = showbar && topbar ? sy + bh : sy;
---
> wy = sy;
1621c1621
< wh = showbar ? sh - bh : sh;
---
> wh = sh;
1625c1625
< by = showbar ? (topbar ? wy - bh : wy + wh) : -bh;
---
> by = showbar ? (topbar ? 0 : sh - bh) : -bh
Which I'm unsure about is the following line in manage():
/* only fix client y-offset, if the client center might cover the bar */
c->y = MAX(c->y, ((by == 0) && (c->x + (c->w / 2) >= wx) &&
(c->x +
(c->w / 2) < wx + ww)) ? bh : sy);
I understand the condition meaning (x client center is inside window
and bar is visible) but I can't see the point of it. Besides, this is
called before window layout, so if wy = sy as in my patch, most
layouts will move the window to sy afterwards.
Could you clarify this point? Should I change the entire line to
c->y = MAX(c->y, sy) to be coherent with my patch?
Best regards
