• patch to center tiled windows on the stack
  1 project | /r/suckless | 27 Aug 2023

  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
  1 project | /r/suckless | 21 Jun 2023

  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
  1 project | /r/suckless | 16 Jun 2023

  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
  1 project | /r/suckless | 7 Jun 2023

  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
  1 project | /r/suckless | 27 May 2023

  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.

• patch to separate focus between master and stack areas

• How do you set the width of dmenu to the screen width after application of the xyw patch?
  1 project | /r/suckless | 29 Apr 2023

  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
  3 projects | /r/suckless | 6 Apr 2023

  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

• How do I change multi-monitor tag behaviour
  1 project | /r/suckless | 4 Apr 2023

  I had an example patch for that: dwm-desktop-6.3.diff
