A new layout that's kinda like deck, but there's a little space above and + below the main slave window where you can see (a little bit of) the other + slave windows. + +2. 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. + +5. New windows open to the right (clockwise) of the focused window. Closing + the focused window focuses the window to its left (counter-clockwise). This + achieves both: + + 1. After closing a window, focus goes where you expect (it's consistent, + and you don't have to remember what was focused before to predict + correctly.) + + 2. When you open a window, and then close it, focus goes back to where it + was originally. + + And an added bonus: The master window doesn't move around or change size + when you open or close other windows. + Requirements ------------
