Thing is, in wmii I create them on demand and name them dynamically (to reflect their purpose), which conveniently groups them as well. I just don't want the tag I do development of project A on to be on tag 5. Today. And on tag 6 is a browser with an interesting article. Today. But tomorrow, I wanna code on project B as well. Where would I put that? :/ It feels just soo static :| There's also nametag [1], which allows you to rename your tags at runtime, and a patch I wrote I could dig up which hides currently unused tags. Yeah, that sounds pretty nice. Well, you being so patient with me, I might as well get impolite -.- So, what's the policy here? All future development in patches, so we don't spoil that fancy 2K SLOC statistic everybody is so fond of? :/ *sceptic* Sounds weird. That would make for one tag per client then, for most of the time I can use only one client (basically) maximised. In dwm you can view multiple tags at the same time, which pulls all clients with that tag into view. (Which is really amazing once you get used to it. Other window managers just make me feel really constrained.) yeah, remember that from awesome, rarely used it, felt like a rather clumsy feature over there (might have been due to my key bindings). Still think it's a pity you have to loose that grouping of clients into topics if you need to have several tags per topic. I would like to have my IDE and a browser with corresponding API on the same tag. Purely for tidiness reasons :/ I think that is the great power of the stacked layout. I can have clients grouped within one tag, but I don't need to watch them all of the time. That's why I suggested flextile; it has a 'deck' layout. I think so. No way to have one client 'maximised'? Monocle layout? Yeah, will have to look into that. Is there a screenshot to be seen? Always associated it with awesome's monocle(?) layout, which was very inefficient as it comes to screen space, iirc. What if I need tree columns? I don't know what that means. ^^ I'm sorry. s/tree/three/ thx again dtk

I gave up on this approach for DWM and used dzen2 as my status bar instead: https://github.com/sunaku/.dwm/blob/master/dwm-statusbar (Pictured at bottom of this screenshot: http://ompldr.org/vYnUyNg) dzen2 supports XBM and XPM images, which I use from sm4tik's icon set: https://github.com/sunaku/.dwm/tree/master/dwm-statusbar-icons Uh. I like your differently colored symbols. Feeling a bit girlish today ;P Actually, I'm quite happy with your Rumai widgets right now, displaying dialogs with gmessage instead of xmessage for some eye candy and linking right click actions to gnome gui tools (power preferences comes handy with the battery widget). Might pimp them with some color ;) Thx anyway, might get handy if I have to drop WMII in the end :( dtk

All future development in patches, so we don't spoil that fancy 2K SLOC statistic everybody is so fond of? :/ *sceptic* Hah. :) We fold in popular patches, slowly, so dwm doesn't become all bloated and unstable. My personal view is that if we take our time we can reduce each feature to its essential parts before adding another, instead of just adding all the features at once and suddenly you have huge amounts of code and it takes ages to pare it all down again. This happened when we added a bunch of patches to dmenu all at the same time; there were so many bugs generated as a result, mostly patch-incompatibility. So while I think we *should* fold in some more patches, and I don't really care about the SLOC limit, if we do we ought to do it slowly, so we can keep on top of it. A number of patches will remain separate though, since they are configuration options, such as layouts and so on. That's fine, since they can just be added to your config.h without changing dwm.c itself. Things like nametag are worth considering, though. Yeah, will have to look into that. Is there a screenshot to be seen? Always associated it with awesome's monocle(?) layout, which was very inefficient as it comes to screen space, iirc. I'm not sure a screenshot is necessary. It would just be a fullscreen window. :p If you hide the status bar it's honestly *just* the window. What if I need tree columns?
