[dwm] Applying fibonacci or golden ratio to tile()?
Hi there, People ask from time to time to have different heights of clients in the stack/master area. After looking into the spiral thing I got the idea, that one could distribute different heights to clients in the master and stacking area as follows: -- | || | || | || | || | || |---|| | || | || | || -- This means, that clients at the top positions get always a bigger height, than clients at lower positions. The decision about this could be done using golden ratio. What do you think about this? Regards, -- Anselm R. Garbe http://www.suckless.org/ GPG key: 0D73F361

However, recently I've been trying to set up DWM on an OpenBSD 4.1 system. It seems to compile fine except for some warnings with strlcpy() functions. But it compiles fine. This is expected behaviour. Ignore it. I am also able to launch it but that's about it. If I press any keystroke such as launching dmenu or xterm DWM hangs. I can still move the mouse but the tags are unresponsive and I can't kill X. You can't kill X? ctrl-alt-backspace? sudo pkill -9 Xorg? That sounds suspiciously like a Xorg (driver?) problem. Fact is, dwm works very well on OpenBSD. Maybe you want to say hi on [EMAIL PROTECTED] and give us a bit more details on your Xorg configuration/logs/hardware/etc. Tobias This is all on top of a fresh OpenBSD 4.1 install with nothing in the .xinitrc file except for 'exec dwm'. Note: I've tried with both DWM 4.2 and 4.3. Any help is appreciated. Keep up the great work on DWM! Thanks, Amit
[dwm] dwm-4.4 is on its way
Hi there, I ask you to check the current hg tip (changeset 927+) to test dwm. Especially those using Mathematica having trouble with the so-called greyish blobs bug. I changed the mechanism how dwm bans resp. unbans windows. Since dwm 0.1 it banned/unbanned windows through XMoveWindow()-ing them off- and onscreen. Now dwm uses X[Un]mapWindow() for this purpose.

Well, I often find myself using three terminals at the same time. I find this idea to be interesting because I'd like to have more screen estate for important information than what is now possible with equal division of the stacks. In my opinion, to distribute windows according to the golden ration (or any other proportion) is great if you only have a small number of opened windows at the same time. Otherwise, smaller windows would be unreadable. But still, I support this idea and like to experiment with it soon! Salut, Alexandre
Re: [dwm] Applying fibonacci or golden ratio to tile()?
Hi, I think this is generally a nice idea. However, I would rather see this only on master area. I usually mainly focus on clients on master area. Clients on stack area are there either for monitoring something or are waiting to get focus (via moving to them and Alt-Enter-ing) and are thus equally (un)important. One thing to consider is also that if stack area would be arranged unequally-like, there will sooner or later be a need for function(ality) to alter positions of clients within stack area, not affecting the master area.

Re: [dwm] OpenBSD 4.1 issues with DWM
Amit, I just did a fresh install of OpenBSD 4.1 release and dwm 4.3 within parallels on my mac. I also applied my various patches and everything works great. I would take Tobias suggestions and look into the X driver you are using. It seem to be more hardware related or possibly a miss configuration. Good luck. -- James Turner BSD Group Consulting http://www.bsdgroup.org
