So per-tag is weird and bizarre? Not that every time one go to tag X one need to press Modx-M and then when returning to tag Y you have to press Modx-t? Out of 365 days per year, let say one use dwm 300 and changing tag about 30 times per day. That comes to 90 000 useless keystrokes. Is this the "dynamic" you talked about?

Well, I would say that support for multiple monitors should then not be part of dwm, but be a patchwork as it is bizarre to need multiple hardware when we have tags. Right answer is to make the code readable and modular.

It's based on an older dwm version because updating the patches to the current version is too much of a hassle - it works flawlessly and does what it should, so I'm not that motivated to update it just because I could :-) Regards Christian ¹ http://www.cgarbs.de/dwm-mitch.en.html -- Christian.Garbs.http://www.cgarbs.de Das, was landläufig als eMail bezeichnet wird, müßte korrekterweise eigentlich eLetter betitelt werden.

Those are some fabulous imaginary numbers that don't really apply. If I found myself doing work like that I'd probably use a nice workspace-based window manager. Instead, I don't have a set 'layout', and I just add and remove clients and groups of clients to and from the stack. If I had to keep in my head which layout was applied to each of my ten tags, I'd have to think about my window management, and the reason I use dwm is to let the computer do that for me. > If you have a huge screen with high resolution you probably can work in > tiled only, but not so one a notebook or a smaller monitor. Older versions of dwm's description specified that it was for high-resolution screens. I wish they'd put that back. You *can* buy high-resolution notebooks. I have one. > Well, I would say that support for multiple monitors should then not be > part of dwm, but be a patchwork as it is bizarre to need multiple > hardware when we have tags. I don't think you understand tags. > Right answer is to make the code readable and modular. Thank you for your agreement on this matter. -- # Kurt H Maier
