Re: [dwm] st progress?

[Scytrin dai Kinthra]

for myself, i am only awaiting some type of interaction with the
selection buffer. while there are plenty of programs to get the
contents onto the command line, i need to be able to copy out things
from the terminal. i could always pipe if needed but it looked like
there was debug code already present.

out of curiosity, will a transparent background be a feature?

Re: [dwm] dealing with badly-behaved GUI applications

[Ryan Zheng]

I've had the menu problem before. It seems like the bar height is the
amount of pixels that you have click below the items. My workaround
for it was moving the window down that amount of pixels.

[dwm] dwm-meillo is up-to-date again

[markus schnalke]

Hoi dwm lovers,

long time I stayed on version 4.4.1 without having problems, but today
I updated dwm-meillo to the current tip (rev1163).

The patch is much smaller now, mainly because monocle is mainstream
and I managed toggleview in an easier way.

You find the patch and my config.h on:
http://prog.marmaro.de/dwm-meillo/

Just to mention for the case, that anyone is interested.


Thanks again for your work!
I like the comming 4.9

Yes, for the first time users, I think that <= 4.7 or 4.9 is more 'dwm'.

I am still using 4.7, waiting for 4.9 :D

Thanks for work and your patience.

c->ismax can be removed, it doesn't exist anymore.

Re: [dwm] Fibonacci in 4.8?

[Valentin]

Thank you, that already removed a lot of errors, now I just have this
one left:

fibonacci.c:13: error: ‘Client’ has no member named ‘ismax’

The corresponding line is here:
   for(i = 0, c = nexttiled(clients); c; c = nexttiled(c->next)) {
-->   c->ismax = False;
  if((i % 2 && nh / 2 > 2 * c->border)

I commented it, and it seems to be working fine for now, is there some
situation where this change could have negative results?

Also, I can't find anything that seems to ban/unban anything, and
nexttiled() does get used, so I suppose there's no need to change
anything for that either.

Cheers, Valentin

Well, to be honest I don't recommend using 4.8 anymore, use hg
tip. 4.9 will be released quite soon.

In anyway, if you don't use xinerama you can still using dwm 4.7 and the
patch for 4.6 it will work.

On the other hand, dwm 4.8 is great :)

Re: [dwm] dealing with badly-behaved GUI applications

[John Stewart]

Thank you for the suggestion.  Yes, I did try floating layout, with the same 
result, unfortunately.  With a different swing app, one called jMemorize, I was 
able to run it using floating layout, but there was odd behaviour with menu 
items.  I had to click about 8-10 pixels below a menu item to select it.  In a 
nested X server it was fine.

[Anselm R. Garbe]

wax is wx
way is wy
waw is ww
wah is wh

now.

Though you might also check if that version you are trying to
adopt does ban/unban stuff -- if so, remove those portions
because that's done in arrange() now.

Also, use the nexttiled()-based loop through the client list,
there is no need to iterate over all clients anymore.

Kind regards,

It has reached the highest priority on the TODO list now. Though
I haven't done a lot yet. I hope to have results soon. I revised
some concepts in my mind about it, I think the idea of an
interface to change the background colors dynamically depending
on some patterns in the terminal window is worth consideration.

[dwm] Fibonacci in 4.8?

[Valentin]

Hi,
I'm a new dwm user and I'm trying to get the fibonacci layouts, but the
patch is only for 4.6 -- I tried simply including the fibonacci.c file
in config.h and adding the layouts, but I'm getting errors when I
compile dwm:

In file included from config.h:2,
 from dwm.c:230:
fibonacci.c: In function ‘fibonacci’:
fibonacci.c:6: error: ‘wax’ undeclared (first use in this function)
fibonacci.c:6: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
fibonacci.c:6: error: for each function it appears in.)
fibonacci.c:8: error: ‘waw’ undeclared (first use in this function)
fibonacci.c:9: error: ‘wah’ undeclared (first use in this function)
fibonacci.c:13: error: ‘Client’ has no member named ‘ismax’
fibonacci.c:44: error: ‘way’ undeclared (first use in this function)

My C isn't that good, so could somebody help me getting this to work,
if it's not too much trouble? Thanks :)
