Windows have always been able to snap to the edge of the screen. If they
aren't, have a look in your blackboxrc.
What the patch does it make snapping the window to the edge easier. It
does this by doubling the area in which the window snaps. With the patch
applied, the window edge will snap to the screen edge from inside *and*
outside of the screen border.
so.. diagram.. at the top edge of your monitor:
old style new style
===== <- snap area
===== <- snap area
----- <- screen edge ----- <- screen edge
===== <- snap area ===== <- snap area
===== <- snap area ===== <- snap area
hope this makes sense :)
