Hey nice video! You might want to consider using a screencast for your keyboard, just so we get how you're moving around and stuff. Screenkey is a good program for linux.
This seems very complicated for what its doing. The amount of key binds you need to memorize and get used to is just too much for me. Alt+tab and snap layouts do pretty much the same thing in a more intuitive way. Or maybe im just used to the default desktop experience.
Excellent stuff. Suckless is awesome but it’s RTFM culture is too extreme. Yes we should ‘Read the fine documentation’ but it’s helpful to get ideas and inspiration from seeing their products in action.
nice video, but one thing, dwm is not easy to manage, it's rather the opposite, like EVERY other window manager is easier to handle, maybe you will test some later on the channel :)
I don't like the patch concept really. Not being able to install and update through a package manager seems like more work than its worth. A good desktop environment should be one you forget, not one you have to continuously manually work on to keep running. Having to recompile with my own patches and make sure I'm using the latest version of each patch every time just doesn't sound like a fun time. That being said, if they were to make some form of built-in package manager for handling these patches, this Window Manager would be a lot more intriguing.
point is not to update continuously. you want a feature you change the code. period. you are in control not the package maintainers. that is the whole point of dwm
Thanks for sharing -you should keep making content like this, curious what else you could put out ^^
Cheers

Good advice 👍
there is a build of dwm called dwm-flexipatch which basically does the whole patching thing alot easier and is definitely worth trying out

what thinkpad do you use?
Could you do a tutorial on how to patch and customize it and specially the status bar?
Nice deep fake Luke Smith
Hey, what do you think about going wayland?
I have been considering it, but I haven't found any good window managers like dwm for Wayland.

How did you make st transparent?
You need the st alpha patch: st.suckless.org/patches/alpha/
as well as a compositor (I use xcompmgr).

but with other window mangers you are not really managing. you are just doing what they allow.
