Well I updated dmenu in hg tip, I decided against a separate -b flag, but I decided that if the y argument is negative, this means, that y is interpreted as bottom line, e.g. dmenu -y -800 creates dmenu wth the bottom at 800px. I introduced one magic argument as well dmenu -y -0 creates dmenu magically at the screen bottom. Kind regards, -- Anselm R. Garbe >< http://www.suckless.org/ >< GPG key: 0D73F361
