Hi
I've succesfully installed dwm and added the patches, that I want.
I find the information on the 'center'-patch a bit short.
How do I use the center-patch to create a centered terminal with calc
(or another terminalbassede application)?
How do I set the 'iscentered' flag?
Thanks,

Hi,
The patch seems to add an extra flag to the rule. The field is "iscentered".
So probably adding some rule matching the calc application class and set
"iscentered" = 1.
In order for the behavior to work, it is my understanding that the WM_CLASS
or WM_NAME values should match the rules struct definition in your
config.h. I don't use the centered patch for terminals, but maybe you can
make it work by specifying a custom window name, class, or title upon
launch (e.g., st options -n, -c, or -t). With other X applications it
works flawlessly on my end. I have the following rule definition in my
config.h,
static const Rule rules[] = {
/* xprop(1):
* WM_CLASS(STRING) = instance, class
* WM_NAME(STRING) = title
*/
/* class instance title tags mask iscentered isfloating
monitor */
{ "Tor Browser", NULL, NULL, 0, 1, 1, -1 },
};
and the above makes Tor Browser starts as a floating window in the middle
of the screen.
Cheers, Anders
