[dev] [dwm] [patch] bugfix in status bar width problem

2011-06-13 Thread Rudy Matela
Hello, There is a bug in the last version of dwm (verified on 5.8, 5.8.2 and r1549) regarding the bar width. By reading the BUGS file, I can see that it may be similar to the bug reported by "voltaic". In my case, it appears whenever I change the orientation (rotation of the monitor). For example:

[dev] does anyone else think that suckless.org is more about bare-bones minimalism than unix philosophy

2011-06-13 Thread Andreas Wagner
