But, hey, one thing. I go totally insane with how the terminal
window is shown in the "fullscreen" layouts. It is so that the st
instance has 55 lines and 191 columns here, then, but this does
not suffice to be really fullscreen, there is a bit of background
visible on the right and the bottom. With cwm, the maximize
simply scaled the window no matter what (ie borders aka padding
nside then but due to the colour it "would not hurt"). If it
would be placed so what the border would be evenly spaced on the
left and right (and the top and bottom). But so it is terrible.
Is it somehow doable to get around these "holes"? (With bar shown
they seem to be evenly "width" at least.)
Well i now did "xsetroot -bg black", .. but isn't that a hack.

Thank you!

Blessings that someone mentioned that! :-) I thought it was a lack of configuration on my end or that I had patched st too much. Is there a quick and easy fix to address these gaps?

Turn off resize hints [1].

Q: I've got a 1 or 2 pixel gap between the right side of my terminal and the
   right side of the screen, and I want to turn it off.

A: This is due to the column-based nature of terminals. Terminals don't just insert space somewhere, but tell the WM they can't be resized in a certain way. The terminal can't use the "wasted space" anyway, so this is purely
   aesthetics.

   You can change `static const int resizehints = 1;` to `0` in
config.h to turn resizehints off. This wastes the same amount of space
   inside the terminal window that would otherwise be wasted outside.
