Re: patch to hide sticky indicators, and add "nofocus" windows

Awesome, I use trayer and would like a nofocus feature as well. I'll try this out when I get a chance. Thanks!

patch to hide sticky indicators, and add "nofocus" windows

Jeremy Jay — 2008-11-21T18:38:29

I do a lot of roaming, and long story short, nm-applet is nearly a requirement for me. No biggie, I just run it in stalonetray and set it to all tags, shoved up in the corner, only I've ran into two little issues: 1) sticky windows put an indicator on every tag in the bar. I know it's on every tag, I put it there, tell me something I don't know. The patch hides any window which has tags=~0 from the indicators. ( this is simply the 2 lines in drawbar() ) 2) since it's on every tag, every time i switch tags, it is the first thing focused. I dont need to type into a system tray, so the patch also adds a flag to designate a window as "nofocus" which tells dwm to skip it when trying to find a window to focus. To do this, I had to add a way to designate a window as nofocus, so Rule.isfloating is now a bitmask Rule.flags, with enums for the 3 settings right now: Normal, Floating, NoFocus. So my config.h, for example, has this Rule: { "stalonetray", NULL, NULL, ~0, Floating|NoF

Marc Andre Tanner — 2008-11-20T21:48:30

Problem is that strlen is used to calculate character width, which doesn't work for utf8 therefore the statusbar content is not properly aligned. http://www.brain-dump.org/tmp/statusbar.png Cheers, Marc

Re: patch to not reparent children to init

Neale Pickett — 2008-11-20T20:36:23

Sweet! For the record, I've never had to work so hard to justify such a small patch to a FOSS project. It was a pleasant experience that makes me feel better about the larger codebase! Also for the record, I couldn't care less whether my toggleable setlayout patch goes in upstream. You can put the patch's author down in the "apathy" column. Neale

Re: make setlayout toggle

Claudio M. Alessi — 2008-11-20T17:51:11

You shouldn't care about the previous layout, it's not a memory game. Users change layouts once they need it, then use another layout in order to fit their new needs and so forth. Changing the layout is not an hard task, i think. I already have some feature i never use but i wouldn't make a dwm-lite release. Please add only real useful code :-) Regards, Claudio M. Alessi

But as you stated before, all those projects were not satisfying the needs of dynamic window management; thus I looked for an open source project, which I possibly could adapt. Now (since 20080910) DockBox - or maybe even better: HashTWM (same author) - is under GPL, so I will take a closer look. Are you wainting for a stabilized API (since GINA already has gone in Vista)? Are you still heading for a shell replacement? Kind regards, joten

Hiding the title bars is intended. bug.n displays the title of the active window in the bar, but leaves drawing the border to Windows. I am using Windows Vista without Aero and a theme, where the border of the active window has a different color, thus achieving the same effects as dwm. Ah, yes, I was not aware of this feature. I will see and try to implement it, if I can match it with the data structure. I do not know if can find a general solution for this; it is not yet obvious for me, what causes this problem (parent - child? window owner? ...). But one way to deal with the problem could be to write the class 'IDEOwner' to the 'rules' list in 'config.ahk' setting it to 'floating', which will lead bug.n to exclude those windows from tiling.

Re: dwm for win32

Maxim Vuets — 2008-11-19T19:37:07

Interesting solution. Just three things I have faced with: 1. Title bars are hidden, so it is not easy to distinguish which window is active. 2. ModKey+Enter moves a window from stack to master, but not vice versa. 3. VisualStudio 2003 (my main app under windows) makes some gap. Looks like bug.n sees two windows when in fact there is only one. ModKey+Shift+d: --------------------------- Managed Windows --------------------------- ACTIVE WINDOW Id:0x9010e Class:wndclass_desked_gsk Title:myproj - Microsoft Visual C++ [design] - myheader.h* _____________ Id:0x9010e Class:wndclass_desked_gsk Title:myproj - Microsoft Visual C++ [design] - myheader.h* Id:0x800f8 Class:IDEOwner Title:myproj - Microsoft Visual C++ [design] - myheader.h* --------------------------- OK ---------------------------

you can manually add the strcaseido() matcher from 3.4 http://code.suckless.org/hg/dmenu/file/3.4/dmenu.c#l625

What happened to the -i argument?

Eyolf Østrem — 2008-11-19T16:35:31

I just upgraded dmenu from 3.4 to 3.9, and I noticed that the meaning of the -i argument has changed from "ignore intermediate characters" to "case-insensitive search". I find the former highly useful, whereas the latter less so, since most application names are lowercase anyway. 1. what happened? 2. Is there a chance of getting the former mode back again? Eyolf

Attached is a quick patch that will allow you to use meta + right/left arrow key to cycle through your tags. It works here, but may not be the best way to do it.
