This is an interesting point and I can relate to it. If you follow this through, for tiled clients only the "inner" borders are relevant to separate it from another one. You don't have to separate a client from the window border or the status line (this might conflict with highlighting windows, don't know as I don't use it). Instead of tiling like this: [] foo 11:25 .----------..----------. | || | | || | | |`----------' | |.----------. | || | `----------'`----------' this would be sufficient: [] foo 11:25 | | | |------------ | | | It's also much more consistent with the tag layout string " |-" :-) dvtm already does this because in text mode a wasted line or column is quite much.
