patch to center tiled windows on the stack
It would be possible to have gaps by default without wasting space, they would just be smaller. Current gaps patches waste even more space than 'resizehints = 0'. This patch appears to be a big challenge, but it would be very interesting to see it done. Something like the centered_size_hints patch but with better space/cpu usage would already be great.

Anysize leaving gaps in st
I made this patch after that post for reference: https://github.com/bakkeby/patches/wiki/anysize-simple

How can you set the st geometry offset relative to the screen size as a dwm shortcut
I'd recommend that you have a look at the floatrules patch and alternatively if you need percentages then I have another patch called floatpos.
- Make the focusstack feature avoid a certain program.

tag.restore and tag.noempty
As for 1. you may want to consider toggletag which is a one-line patch which makes it so that when you do MOD+1 to move to tag 1 and if you do MOD+1 again then it moves you back to the previous tag (5 in the example case).

Patch to improve the zoom function
I believe the zoomswap, stacker and restrictfocus patches could help solving this problem. The functions needed to be changed probably are zoom and maybe pop. I tried to figure it out, but couldn't since I don't know C right now. But hopefully the information on this post can help, so one can fix it if he can and wants to.

How do you set the width of dmenu to the screen width after application of the xyw patch?
You may also want to consider applying the barpadding patch for dwm into dmenu, this is easier to do than it sounds. I created an example patch a while back: https://github.com/bakkeby/patches/wiki/barpadding

alpha patch makes my dwm doesn't starting
It's difficult to make alpha and systray patches sing together. Use bakkeby patch that does them both: https://github.com/bakkeby/patches/blob/master/dwm/dwm-alpha-systray-6.3_full.diff

What is your dwm multi-monitor workflow?
I've switched from i3 to dwm couple days ago. I like it so far but I have one major problem: I can't come up with a comfortable workflow with my dual-monitor setup. I love the way i3 manages multi-monitor setups - single set of workspaces for all monitors, but each workspace is assigned to a monitor. I used it this way for working: Firefox on ws1, Spotify, Slack and Telegram on ws2, terminal running tmux in ws3 (where most of the stuff is done). I keep terminal workspace on the primary monitor and workspaces 1,2 on the secondary monitor - this way I can switch between my messengers and browser without having to hide my code from primary monitor. I really got used to this workflow. Now I'm trying to adapt this sort of workflow to the DWM's philosophy and probably make it better (or at least not worse). I've tried to apply single tagset patch but it has a bug which basically makes it unusable. I really want to try it out and even think of trying to fix it myself since I have some C knowledge and programming background. At this point, I don't really like the fact that I have to press mod + >/< to switch between my monitors, when on i3 I could do it by just focusing the desired workspace. Or maybe I'm just not getting the idea behind separate tags on multiple monitors? I'm sure there's a reason why it works this way. Any advice appreciated.
