[dwm] dmenu request

2006-11-30 Thread Bill Puschmann
I'm curious if it would even be possible to allow typing into dmenu before the "tab-completion" fields being piped in are populated. The current setup/expected configuration is to compile and sort a list of executables - which is great when I'm not in the middle of something processor intensive.

I find the tag-used dots to be a handy thing, but I was wondering if it is possible to use something more visually-distinct than dots. Looking quickly at the tag area, there are dots for tag-used and dots for client-tags - recognising which is which takes a small amount of attention. I wonder
