This dwm 6.3 (d39e2f3, 2022-01-07) side project has a different take on dwm patching. It uses preprocessor directives to decide whether or not to include a patch during build time. Essentially this means that this build, for better or worse, contains both the patched _and_ the original code. The aim being that you can select which patches to include and the build will contain that code and nothing more. Due to the complexity of some of the patches dwm-flexipatch has diverged from mainstream dwm by making some core patches non-optional for maintenance reasons. For the classic dwm-flexipatch build refer to branch [dwm-flexipatch-1.0](https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch/tree/dwm-flexipatch-1.0).
For example to include the `alpha` patch then you would only need to flip this setting from 0 to 1 in [patches.h](https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch/blob/master/patches.def.h):
```c
#define BAR_ALPHA_PATCH 1
```
So if you have ever been curious about trying out dwm, but have been discouraged by manual patching, then this may be a good starting point to see what a "fully fledged" dwm can look like. Want to try out the `pertag` patch? Just flip a config and recompile. Once you have found out what works for you and what doesn't then you should be in a better position to choose patches should you want to start patching from scratch.
Alternatively if you have found the patches you want, but don't want the rest of the flexipatch entanglement on your plate then you may want to have a look at [flexipatch-finalizer](https://github.com/bakkeby/flexipatch-finalizer); a custom pre-processor tool that removes all the unused flexipatch code leaving you with a build that contains the patches you selected.
Refer to [https://dwm.suckless.org/](https://dwm.suckless.org/) for details on the dwm window manager, how to install it and how it works.
If you are experiencing issues then you may want to check out the [Known Issues](https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch/discussions/categories/known-issues) discussion category.

2020-07-18 - **Note**: Up until now building dwm-flexipath without any patches selected would have given you something more or less identical with mainstream dwm. In order to reduce complexity when it comes to maintainance future versions of dwm-flexipatch may diverge from this by making some patches non-optional. For the classic dwm-flexipatch and its many patch integration hints refer to branch [dwm-flexipatch-1.0](https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch/tree/dwm-flexipatch-1.0) which will be subject to bug fixes and mainstream dwm updates as far as feasible.

Xft library that can handle them
- [combo](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/combo/)
- allows you to select multiple tags by pressing all the right keys as a combo, e.g. hold MOD
and press and hold 1 and 3 together to view those two tags

- lets you cycle through all your layouts
- [decoration_hints](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/decoration_hints/)
- make dwm respect \_MOTIF\_WM\_HINTS property, and not draw borders around windows
requesting for it
- some applications use this property to notify window managers to not draw window
decorations
- not respecting this property leads to issues with applications that draw their own borders,
like chromium (with "Use system title bar and borders" turned off) or vlc in fullscreen mode
- [distributetags](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/reorganizetags/)
- this reorganisetags variant re-distributes all clients on the current monitor evenly across
all tags
- [dmenumatchtop](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/dmenumatchtop)

and dragging the mouse
- [dragmfact](https://github.com/bakkeby/patches/wiki/dragmfact/)
- lets you resize the split in layouts (i.e. modify mfact) by holding the modkey + shift
+ left-click and dragging the mouse
- this is a bespoke patch that supports vertical and horizontal layout splits as well as
centered master variants
- [dwmblocks](https://gist.github.com/danbyl/54f7c1d57fc6507242a95b71c3d8fdea)
- signal integration to use dwm with a patched [dwmblocks](https://github.com/torrinfail/dwmblocks)
- combined with the statuscmd patch this gives a clickable statusbar
- [dwmc](http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/dwmc/)
- a simple dwmc client using a fork of fsignal to communicate with dwm
- [emptyview](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/emptyview/)
- allows no tag at all to be selected
- dwm will start with no tag selected and when a client with no tag rule is started and no
tag is selected then it will be opened on the first tag
- [ewmhtags](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/ewmhtags/)
- adds EWMH support for \_NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS, \_NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP, \_NET_DESKTOP_NAMES
and \_NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT, which allows for compatibility with other bars and programs
that request workspace information, e.g. polybar's xworkspaces module
- [exresize](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/exresize/)
- this patch allows the user to change size and placement of floating windows using only the
keyboard
- it also allows for temporary vertical and horizontal extension of windows similar to other
WMs fill command
- [~extrabar~](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/extrabar/)
- ~enables an extra status bar in dwm in a similar manner to the dualstatus patch~
- ~if the primary status is at the top via topbar then the extra status bar will be placed at
the bottom and vice versa~
- extrastatus
- formerly extrabar - now only splits the status into to statuses by using a status separator
- [fakefullscreen](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/fakefullscreen/)
- only allow clients to "fullscreen" into the space currently given to them
- as an example, this will allow you to view a fullscreen video in your browser on one half
of the screen, while having the other half available for other tasks
- [fakefullscreenclient](https://github.com/bakkeby/patches/wiki/fakefullscreenclient/)
- similarly to the fakefullscreen patch this patch only allows clients to "fullscreen" into
the space currently given to them
- as an example, this will allow you to view a fullscreen video in your browser on one half
of the screen, while having the other half available for other tasks
- the "twist" with this patch is that fake fullscreen can be toggled on a per client basis
rather than applying to all clients globally
- [fancybar](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/fancybar/)
- shows the titles of all visible windows in the status bar
- flexwintitle
- based on the bartabgroups patch, this is a layout aware barmodules module for handling
window titles intended to be used with flextile-deluxe
- [~floatbordercolor~](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/float_border_color/)
- ~this patch allows a different border color to be chosen for floating windows~
- [floatpos](https://github.com/bakkeby/patches/wiki/floatpos/)
- adds a float rule allowing the size and position of floating windows to be specified
- control the size and position of floating windows similar to exresize, moveresize,
moveplace patches
- specify size and position using absolute, relative or fixed co-ordinates or
- position floating windows in a grid-like manner
- [focusadjacenttag](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/focusadjacenttag/)
- provides the ability to focus the tag on the immediate left or right of the currently
focused tag
- it also allows to send the focused window either on the left or the right tag
- [focusdir](https://github.com/bakkeby/patches/wiki/focusdir)
- allows focusing on clients based on direction (up, down, left, right) instead of client
order
- [focusmaster](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/focusmaster/)
- a simple patch that just puts focus back to the master client
- [focusonclick](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/focusonclick/)
- this patch makes you switch focus only by mouse click and not sloppy (focus follows mouse
pointer)
- [focusonnetactive](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/focusonnetactive/)
- by default, dwm responds to \_NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW client messages by setting the urgency bit
on the named window
- this patch activates the window instead
- [focusurgent](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/focusurgent/)
- adds a keyboard shortcut to select the next window having the urgent flag regardless of the
tag it is on
- [fsignal](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/fsignal/)
- send "fake signals" to dwm for handling, using xsetroot
- this will not conflict with the status bar, which also is managed using xsetroot
- [fullscreen](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/fullscreen/)
- applies the monocle layout with the focused client on top and hides the bar
- when pressed again it shows the bar and restores the layout that was active before going
fullscreen
- [hidevacanttags](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/hide_vacant_tags/)
- prevents dwm from drawing tags with no clients (i.e. vacant) on the bar
- [holdbar](http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/holdbar/)
- with this patch dwm's built-in status bar is only shown when HOLDKEY is pressed
- additionally the bar will now overlay the display
- [ignore-xft-errors-when-drawing-text](https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/wmii/7bncCahYIww)
- sometimes dwm crashes when it cannot render some glyphs in window titles (usually emoji)
- this patch is essentially a hack to ignore any errors when drawing text on the status bar
and may be removed if a more appropriate solution comes up
- [inplacerotate](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/inplacerotate/)
- allows rotation of all clients in the master or stack area without affecting the other area
- [insets](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/insets/)
- lets custom insets from each edge of the screen to be defined
- an example use case would be to make space for an external bar
- [ipc](https://github.com/mihirlad55/dwm-ipc)
- implements inter-process communication through a UNIX socket for dwm
- allows for the window manager to be queried for information, e.g. listen for events such as
tag or layout changes, as well as send commands to control the window manager via other
programs
- [\_IS\_FLOATING](https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch/issues/50)
- adds the \_IS\_FLOATING xproperty for floating windows
- this can allow for a compositor to handle floating windows differently to tiled windows,
e.g. only show shadows on floating windows
- this patch is enabled via the ewmhtags patch
- [ispermanent](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/ispermanent/)
- adds rule option for clients to avoid accidental termination by killclient for sticky
windows
- [keymodes](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/keymodes/)
- this patch adds key modes (like in vim or emacs) where chains of keyboard shortcuts can be
performed
- [killunsel](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/killunsel/)
- kills all visible clients that are not selected (only the selected client will remain)
- [~leftlayout~](http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/leftlayout/)
- ~moves the layout symbol in the status bar to the left hand side~
- LG3D
- changes the window manager name to "LG3d" instead of "dwm" as a workaround for Java
applications that assume that the window manager is using window reparenting
- refer to the ISSUES secton of the dwm man page for more details
- [losefullscreen](https://github.com/bakkeby/patches/wiki/losefullscreen/)
- by default in dwm it is possible to make an application fullscreen, then use the focusstack
keybindings to focus on other windows beneath the current window
- it is also possible to spawn new windows (e.g. a terminal) that end up getting focus while
the previous window remains in fullscreen
- this patch ensures that in such scenarios the previous window loses fullscreen
- [maximize](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/maximize/)
- adds helper functions for maximizing, horizontally and vertically, floating windows using
keybindings
- [mpdcontrol](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/mpdcontrol/)
- adds keyboard bindings to control MDP (Music Player Daemon)
- [monitorrules](https://github.com/bakkeby/patches/wiki/monitorrules/)
- adds rules per monitor, e.g. have default layouts per monitor
- the use case for this is if the second monitor is vertical (i.e. rotated) then you may want
to use a different default layout for this monitor than what is used for the main monitor
(for example normal vertical split for main monitor and horizontal split for the second)
- [monoclesymbol](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/monoclesymbol/)
- always display the the monocle-symbol as defined in config.h if the monocle-layout is
activated
- do not display the number of open clients in the current tag
- [moveresize](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/moveresize/)
- allows you to move and resize dwm's clients using keyboard bindings
- [movestack](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/movestack/)
- allows you to move clients around in the stack and swap them with the master
- [netclientliststacking](https://github.com/bakkeby/patches/wiki/netclientliststacking)
- adds support for the \_NET\_CLIENT\_LIST\_STACKING atom, needed by certain applications
like the Zoom video conferencing application
- [noborder](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/noborder/)
- removes the border when there is only one window visible
- [nodmenu](https://git.suckless.org/sites/commit/ed68e3629de4ef2ca2d3f8893a79fb570b4c0cbc.html)
- enable modifying dmenu in config.def.h which resulted previously in a compilation error
because two lines of code hardcode dmenu into dwm
- allows complete removal of dmenu, should you want to do that
- NB: this patch was removed from the patches listing on the suckless page due to it's simplicity
- nomodbuttons
- allows for toggleable client button bindings that have no modifiers
- this can, for example, allow you to move or resize using the mouse alone without holding
down a modifier key, which can be practical if you have extra buttons on your mouse
- [no_transparent_borders](https://github.com/szatanjl/dwm/commit/1529909466206016f2101457bbf37c67195714c8)

- this patch ensures that borders have no transparency
- note that this patch is only relevant if you are not using the alpha patch
- [on\_empty\_keys](https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch/issues/51)
- port of InstantVM's on_empty_keys functionality allowing keybindings that apply only when a
tag/view is empty

- makes it so dwm will only exit via quit() if no windows are open (in order to prevent
accidental loss of work)

now be on tag 1, 2, and 3
- [resizecorners](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/resizecorners/)

- adds rounded corners to client windows
- [savefloats](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/save_floats/)

similar functionality by explicitly sorting screens left to right (or top to bottom in a
vertical layout)
- [spawn_cwd](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/spawn_cwd/)
- spawns programs from currently focused client's working directory
- [stacker](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/stacker/)

- [swallow](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/swallow/)
- this patch adds "window swallowing" to dwm as known from Plan 9's windowing system rio
- clients marked with isterminal in config.h swallow a window opened by any child process,
e.g. running xclock in a terminal
- closing the xclock window restores the terminal window in the current position
- [swapfocus](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/swapfocus/)
- this patch depends on the pertag patch and makes it possible to switch focus with a single
shortcut (mod-s) instead of having to think if you should use mod-j or mod-k for reaching
the previously used window

- allows swapping the contents of the currently selected tag with another tag by using
keyboard shortcuts

This dwm 6.3 (d39e2f3, 2022-01-07) side project has a different take on dwm patching. It uses preprocessor directives to decide whether or not to include a patch during build time. Essentially this means that this build, for better or worse, contains both the patched _and_ the original code. The aim being that you can select which patches to include and the build will contain that code and nothing more. Due to the complexity of some of the patches dwm-flexipatch has diverged from mainstream dwm by making some core patches non-optional for maintenance reasons. For the classic dwm-flexipatch build refer to branch [dwm-flexipatch-1.0](https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch/tree/dwm-flexipatch-1.0).
For example to include the `alpha` patch then you would only need to flip this setting from 0 to 1 in [patches.h](https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch/blob/master/patches.def.h):
```c
#define BAR_ALPHA_PATCH 1
```
So if you have ever been curious about trying out dwm, but have been discouraged by manual patching, then this may be a good starting point to see what a "fully fledged" dwm can look like. Want to try out the `pertag` patch? Just flip a config and recompile. Once you have found out what works for you and what doesn't then you should be in a better position to choose patches should you want to start patching from scratch.
Alternatively if you have found the patches you want, but don't want the rest of the flexipatch entanglement on your plate then you may want to have a look at [flexipatch-finalizer](https://github.com/bakkeby/flexipatch-finalizer); a custom pre-processor tool that removes all the unused flexipatch code leaving you with a build that contains the patches you selected.
Refer to [https://dwm.suckless.org/](https://dwm.suckless.org/) for details on the dwm window manager, how to install it and how it works.
If you are experiencing issues then you may want to check out the [Known Issues](https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch/discussions/categories/known-issues) discussion category.

In order to reduce complexity when it comes to maintainance future versions of dwm-flexipatch may diverge from this by making some patches non-optional. For the classic dwm-flexipatch and its many patch integration hints refer to branch [dwm-flexipatch-1.0](https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch/tree/dwm-flexipatch-1.0) which will be subject to bug fixes and mainstream dwm updates as far as feasible.

- similarly to the fakefullscreen patch this patch only allows clients to "fullscreen" into
the space currently given to them
- as an example, this will allow you to view a fullscreen video in your browser on one half

- changes the window manager name to "LG3d" instead of "dwm" as a workaround for Java
applications that assume that the window manager is using window reparenting
- refer to the ISSUES secton of the dwm man page for more details
- [losefullscreen](https://github.com/bakkeby/patches/wiki/losefullscreen/)
- by default in dwm it is possible to make an application fullscreen, then use the focusstack
keybindings to focus on other windows beneath the current window
