When you've got only 1 window in a workspace: by default, it is in the + master area. A new tag/attribute is used to specify windows that should use + all available space when alone. This results in fewer window resizes, and + is nice for applications which are usually not so nice when they're huge + (eg firefox, mutt). + +3. _NET_WM_OPACITY is set. Run xcompmgr or the like, so you can see which + window has focus. (Non-zero width borders are probably broken in this fork) + +4. Terminals are spawned with environmental variable containing the current + workspace number. This can be used to eg have separate shell history per + workspace, and/or make terminals stay in their correct workspaces accross + dwm restarts. + Requirements ------------ @@ -38,10 +58,9 @@ the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.: In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something like this in your .xinitrc: - while true + while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`" do - xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`" - sleep 1 + sleep 1 done & exec dwm
