[dev] [dwm] layers
Hi, I wonder if there is a dwm patch implementing layer. What I mean by layer ? For instance, I have a tag named com (communication) and rules to launch thunderbird and skype in that tag (I know they suck, any suggestions are welcome). I want to simultaneously have thunderbird in monocle mode and skype in tile mode in the same tag and switch between them (_all_ thunderbird windows and _all_ skype windows) like if they are simple windows. I dont know if I was clear! Any hints ?

I think what you want is the pertag patch, which, if I'm not completely wrong, allows you to choose your layout per tag. Then you can have a tag for Thunderbird and a tag for Skype and set them to different layouts. Does that work for you? --Andrew Hills

For example, if I want a third application for chat (I don't know, say pidgin) I have to create a new tag, and it's not very handy to create a new tag for each new application I install. Plus, this layer system may help to simulate tabs (even more powerful 'cause we can have layouts). Thanks anyway, may be I should try to implement it myself.

Is there something preventing you from defining more tags in your config.h? Not really! But don't wanna have a dozen of tags, I rather prefer working with categories. Plus, the system really interest me and I wanted to check out if it doesn't already exist before I start trying to understand the dwm code and messing with it.

Like I sayed before I don't want to have many tags. For organisation matter, I dont think this is the way to go.
