[dwm] horizontal/vertical tiling behaviour
Hi, I'm using the latest dwm version from the repository and I noticed the following behaviour when switching between vertical and horizontal tiling. When in vertical tiling mode and then pressing mod-h and then repeatedly pressing mod-h the tiling toggles between horizontal and vertical. The same can be done with mod-v. From the function names in config.h I assume this is not the intended behaviour? cheers, Anthony

You can switch to the four modes with the default keys: mod-h for horizontal mod-v for vertical mod-f for floating mod-m for monocle Pressing one of these again sends you back to the mode you were just at. I find this invaluable as occasionally I move into floating mode and dont want to be there, so I merely have to hit mod-f again and I'm back to wherever I was (generally tilev). It's also good if you toggle quite a bit. So in short, yes, it's the intended behaviour. -- Samuel Baldwin

Re: [dwm] My config.h: cyclegeom, togglebar, setmwfact
I'll summarize what's in that attachment. I made six DEFGEOMs: rightstack bottomstack, monocle, both with and without the bar. cyclegeom: alt-space cycles through the three, either with or without the bar. togglebar: alt-b switches between two of them as you would expect. setmwfact: I used this infrastructure of DEFGEOMs to help me figure out how to make this work with all of the above. _ Test your Star IQ http://club.live.com/red_carpet_reveal.aspx?icid=redcarpet_HMTAGMAR
[dwm] a lone client could be borderless
When only one client is in a workspace (or tagset, or view), it could be borderless. In the default geom, or in bottomstack, the border is unnecessary. In my favorite monocle, any border would remind that something is below. _ Windows Live Hotmail is giving away Zunes. http://www.windowslive-hotmail.com/ZuneADay/?locale=en-USocid=TXT_TAGLM_Mobile_Zune_V3

It conflicts with generality, which is one of the design principles. meillo

I understand. My principle would be the border only appears when needed.

Hey!
Thanks to your hint, I did it.
In dwm.c:
In tileh() and tilev(), call monocle:
if(--n == 0) {
monocle();
return;
}
In monocle(), adjust as discussed above:
resize(c, mox - c-bw, moy - c-bw, mow, moh,
RESIZEHINTS);
(It is here that the multi-monitor behavior might be affected. I don't know.
Have you tried this on multi-monitors?)
Now my dwm-4.9 appears to be perfect.
(Off topic: I apologize for the Windows footer added to these posts.
I want to leave Hotmail, and do something with Wordpress, or obtain
hosting somewhere, but I am unsure how to proceed.)

My principle would be the border only appears when needed. for what its worth, we had to tackle this too in xmonad, which now has an extension, 'smart borders', that tries to apply this rule. given any layout, it uses some heuristics to hide the border of windows in that layout (its a layout modifier, basically) http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Layout-NoBorders.html so any layout, with a single client, or a fullscreen client, or a floating window at fullscreen, etc. for the xinerama case, its a bit tricky: you sometimes need the border to decide which screen has focus. -- Don
