you can set the -name of the terminal; that will set the WM_CLASS to <name>, "XTerm"
i.e. xterm -name TOPLESS is XTerm.TOPLESS or according to xprop WM_CLASS(STRING) = "TOPLESS", "XTerm" you can then set a line in config.h of dwm for that specific XTerm instance. --Carlos On Wed, Dec 7, 2011 at 9:46 PM, Suraj N.
