thanks for this drawbar method, i'm using it right now :)

Re: [dwm] patch to store layouts per tagset
- shows all windownames in the statusbar (this is nice for the
maximized layout, as you wouldnt see there are multiple windows on
that tag otherweise). that stuff is a little bit messy, id like to
see suggestions how to make that better. it uses a defined maximum
length for the title, and if the length of all windownames gets too
long, the title will not be drawn.
IMHO, it looks like most of the messiness is due to the 1px
separators: the code is much cleaner without them. The version below
omits them, and divides the available space if the length of all
windownames gets too long.
If you really like the 1px separators, maybe you should draw a big
box before anything else, and add
dc.x++
wherever you want one?
void
drawbar(void) {
int i, x;
Client *c;
dc.x = 0;
for(i = 0; i LENGTH(tags); i++) {
dc.w = TEXTW(tags[i]);
if(tagset[seltags] 1 i)
drawtext(tags[i], dc.norm, True);
else if(isurgent(i))
drawtext(tags[i], dc.sel, False);
else
continue;
dc.x += dc.w;
}
if(blw 0) {
dc.w = blw;
drawtext(lt[sellt]-symbol, dc.norm, issaved());
x = dc.x + dc.w;
}
else
x = dc.x;
dc.w = TEXTW(stext);
dc.x = ww - dc.w;
if(dc.x x) {
dc.x = x;
dc.w = ww - x;
}
drawtext(stext, dc.norm, False);
if((dc.w = dc.x - x) bh) {
int nvis = 0;
int cw = 0;
int w;
dc.w = dc.x - x;
dc.x = x;
drawtext(NULL, dc.norm, False);
w = dc.w;
/* get the number of visible clients */
for(c = clients; c; c = c-next) {
if(ISVISIBLE(c)) {
nvis++;
cw += TEXTW(c-name);
}
}
for(c = clients; c; c = c-next) {
if(!ISVISIBLE(c))
continue;
dc.w = (cw w) ? (w / nvis) : TEXTW(c-name);
drawtext(c-name, dc.norm, sel == c);
dc.x += dc.w;
}
}
XCopyArea(dpy, dc.drawable, barwin, dc.gc, 0, 0, ww, bh, 0, 0);

You can take a look at my old code [1] for this. It divides statusbar into 'taskbar' and 'status' area, so status can be hidden. Taskbar scales well for many windows. Here's a screenie [2].

[dwm] patch to store layouts per tagset
Hi! http://caustic.ath.cx/~caustic/tagsave.patch http://caustic.ath.cx/~caustic/config.h screenshot: http://caustic.ath.cx/~caustic/2008-07-05-163410_1024x768_scrot.png this patch against current hg will add the following features: - store the layout for a specific selection of tags. all tags tegsets that havent any stored settings will use a globallayout - layoutcolors in the statusbar will be inverted when the tagset is saved - define layout settings for specific tagselections in config.h - shows all windownames in the statusbar (this is nice for the maximized layout, as you wouldnt see there are multiple windows on that tag otherweise). that stuff is a little bit messy, id like to see suggestions how to make that better. it uses a defined maximum length for the title, and if the length of all windownames gets too long, the title will not be drawn. - sending signal USR_1 to dwm lets dwm reexec its binary, so you can update dwm without restarting X - only the selected tags will be shown. if some tag recieves a highlight it will be shown too (in a different color) i can seperate this to multiple patches if wanted :)
