Heyho,
i like my wallpapers, so i created a patch to allow no tag at all to be
selected. Also i found it kind of unintuitive that you can not toggle
the last tag out of view.
The attached patch (for v6.0) fixes that.
dwm starts with no tag selected instead of the first tag beeing selected.
When no tag is selected and you start a client with no tagrule, it gets
opened in the first tag.
The patch should(!) be stable, i used it for a whole month without
problems now.
Do you think it is worth adding to the wiki?
