+Defined in the format
+ws[idx]:master_grow:master_add:stack_inc:layout:always_raise:stack_mode, e.g.
+ws[2]:-4:0:1:0:horizontal sets worskspace 2 to the horizontal stack mode and
+shrinks the master area by 4 ticks and adds one window to the stack, while
+maintaining default floating window behavior.
+Possible stack_mode values are

+.Sh EWMH
+.Nm
+partially implements the Extended Window Manager Hints (EWMH) specification.
+This enables controlling windows as well as
+.Nm
+itself from external scripts and programs. This is achieved by
+.Nm
+responding to certain ClientMessage events. From the terminal these events
+can be conveniently sent using tools such as wmctrl and xdotool. For the
+actual format of these ClientMessage events, see the EWMH specification.
+.Pp
+The id of the currently focused window is stored in the _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW
+property of the root window. This can be used for example to retrieve the
+title of the currently active window with xprop(1) and grep(1):
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+$ WINDOWID=`xprop -root _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW | grep -o "0x.*"`
+$ xprop -id $WINDOWID WM_NAME | grep -o "\\".*\\""
+.Ed
+.Pp
+A window can be focused by sending a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW client message
+to the root window. For example, using wmctrl to send the message
+(assuming 0x4a0000b is the id of the window to be focused):
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+$ wmctrl -i -a 0x4a0000b
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Windows can be closed by sending a _NET_CLOSE_WINDOW client message
+to the root window. For example, using wmctrl to send the message
+(assuming 0x4a0000b is the id of the window to be closed):
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+$ wmctrl -i -c 0x4a0000b
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Windows can be floated and un-floated by adding or removing the
+_NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE atom from the _NET_WM_STATE property of the window.
+This can be achieved by sending a _NET_WM_STATE client message to the
+root window. For example, the following toggles the floating state of
+a window using wmctrl to send the message (assuming 0x4a0000b is the
+id of the window floated or un-floated):
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+$ wmctrl -i -r 0x4a0000b -b toggle,_NET_WM_STATE_ABOVE
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Floating windows can also be resized and moved by sending a
+_NET_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW client message to the root window. For example,
+using wmctrl to send the message (assuming 0x4a0000b is the id of
+the window to be resize/moved):
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+$ wmctrl -i -r 0x4a0000b -e 0,100,50,640,480
+.Ed
+.Pp
+This moves the window to (100,50) and resizes it to 640x480.
+.Pp
+Any _NET_MOVERESIZE_WINDOW events received for stacked windows are ignored.
