Help me understand the possibilities of Bash (best uses, etc)
Aside from the obvious uses - command line scripts - you can also do quite a bit with the GUI. Check out Yad for bash script GUI. X11 related tools like wmctrl, xdotool allow you to create spectacular scripts. I write and use numerous dynamic menus created with bash + jgmenu.

A little bit confused about window managers
rofi or dmenu are often used and I can recommend them too. These programs are graphical that can be used to build your own menu with a few options and arguments. They also have some functionality to show you installed programs on your system and execute it. Qtile itself have such a functionality too: DmenuRun . And there is a menu program that will list applications like KDE startmenu with categories does in example: jgmenu

HELP: A dmenu script that categorize applications
If you want a working alternative, I use jgmenu. It's pretty light. https://github.com/johanmalm/jgmenu
- Any good shutdown, hibernate, reboot, etc menu?

I wrote a script to resize the focused window to an aspect ratio.
It's jgmenu!

is Openbox still being developed?
It is worth adding that Johan is also the author of an excellent jgmenu. So labwc is a serious project led by a great developer. https://github.com/johanmalm/jgmenu

| first build tips - openbox maybe?
For a start menu similar to what you'd have in Windows, you can use something called jgmenu which you can read more about here https://jgmenu.github.io/. To get a start button for jgmenu, you can add a button to tint2 and bind it to jgmenu, you can select an icon, place text for it, or do both.

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.

tint2 without gaps?
Tint2 documentation may help.

Help with formatting tasklist items - adding spacing, borders and transparency
As I understand tint2 has it's own blur mechanism. Awesome does not, all the blur is provided by picom.

tint2 panel doesn't re-appear after reconfiguring+restarting or quitting+re-running
The intersection of people using both StumpWM and the tint2 panel/taskbar is probably pretty small, so I've not a lot of hope, but here's the issue: for whatever reason tint2 will run fine the first time it's started on StumpWM, but restarting it or quitting and running it again doesn't work. If I run it from the commandline I can see that it seems to be starting normally, but it won't actually appear. Any ideas on why this might be or what a resolution/workaround might be. Currently I have to completely exit from StumpWM to get it to re-appear.
