I have written a new layout which i find very useful in two situations: - Vertical panoramic screens (9:16) - Working with terminals and dont want to loss the width.
The layout is quite simple and integrates very well with monocle. So it can be used as a 'window selector' before switching to monocle layout. Here's the layout code: http://news.nopcode.org/hsplit-5.1.c And my config: http://news.nopcode.org/dwm-config.h void hsplit() { Client *c; unsigned int i, n; for(n = 0, c = nexttiled(clients); c; c = nexttiled(c->next), n++); if (n) for(i = 0, c = nexttiled(clients); c; c = nexttiled(c->next),i++) resize(c, 0, (showbar?bh:0) + ((wh/n)*i), ww-(c->bw<<1), (wh/n)-(c->bw<<1),0); } My configuration is: static Layout layouts[] = { /* symbol arrange function */ { "[=]", hsplit }, /* first entry is default */ { "[M]", monocle }, /* first entry is default */ { "[]=", tile }, /* first entry is default */ { "><>", NULL }, /* no layout function means floating behavior */ }; ... { MODKEY, XK_t, setlayout, {.v = &layouts[2]} }, { MODKEY, XK_m, setlayout, {.v = &layouts[1]} }, { MODKEY, XK_e, setlayout, {.v = &layouts[0]} }, { MODKEY, XK_space, setlayout, {0} }, You can use 'meta'+'space' to switch between monocle and hsplit PD: I think that the patches available in the wiki are a bit outdated and needs to be upgraded to the 5.x series. Well. some of them are outdated like my mouseontitle which is not useful anymore with 5 because the feature is included in mainstream. Do you want to maintain old patches keeping the support for old dwm versions? Feedback is welcome :) Enjoy!
