This has the extra side effect of allowing others to see +and take ideas from it. I will not merge changes to suit other peoples +needs. Follow the suckless ideology and modify your own build. + +NOTE: I regularly force push this branch to rebase it on master so don't +expect it to be stable. + +Changes +------- + +The following features have been added/changed: +* Fake fullscreen: "fullscreen" a window but keep it constrained to its area +* Fullscreen any window (monocle mode still has borders and the top bar) +* Control bar padding via config.h +* From [hiltjo's branch](https://git.codemadness.org/dwm/log.html) + - functions for cycling layouts +* Patches taken from the wiki: + - bottomstack layout + - deck layout + - grid layout + - scratchpad + - statuscolors (slightly modified) + - vanity gaps + +Configuration +------------- + +`config.h` is included in this branch and represents my normal settings. + +`config.def.h` should contain all keybind changes and corresponds with +the manpage. + +Why use suckless? +----------------- + +Suckless programs are by designed to be simple and easy to +understand. This means that you can easily change and modify core +features to suit your needs. Using a packaged version of these programs +is pointless, to truly understand why they are so great you need to use +them to solve your problems.
