Not jumping to window if on other tag and monitor
Jumping to the actual tag/monitor will also make sure it does not break other tools, like `alttab` (https://github.com/sagb/alttab) for example.

Complete rewrite of the netwmicon-patch: Enables to set _NET_WM\_ICON with a png-image and display an icon for st
Generally the icon of an application is defined by its desktop-entry. The patch desktopentry serves this purpose. Unfortunately, some programs like tint2 or alttab can't make use of the desktop-entry and rely instead on a hardcoded icon which has to be defined by the application itself with the window-propery _NET_WM_ICON. Since st doesn't define _NET_WM_ICON this programs can't display the correct icon for st even if a desktop-entry exists. This patch solves this problem.

Get all windows of desktop in bspwm, but include also tabs in tabbed
If i use alttab it would still detect only 3 windows. So the question is: how can I make it so that the tabs in a tabbed session are recognized as individual windows? Any shell script or tool is accepted

Playing around with 'Video Wallpaper' & 'xwinwrap + gifview', just a 'demo mode' for my own learning. Together they use close to 15% of my (old Phenom II 1100T) cpu. The screen recorder used much more.
