I'd say that dwm's monocle layout could already be considered a "tab" mode, since it overlaps several windows (you'd only miss having the titles of all the windows/tabs in the status bar, but I believe there's a patch for that). It's just that dwm is designed to be simple and clean, no layouts inside of other layouts. Which IMHO is unnecessary. You may want to create a specific layout for your particular case if you need several groups of windows overlapped in a specific way different than monocle (or you might as well just use the floating layout). -- Fernando
