RXdwm

This Repository contains the files and configurations related to RXdwm.

RXdwm is a forked dynamic window manager based on dwm. It contains several patches one may require in a dynamic window manager. With marginal changes, one can easily use this portably.

Things that can be done

• Fix layoutmenu

• • Currently the layout pops up but the indexing is broken and if one clicks on any layout, it simply doesn't run, though one can probably just use the hotkeys or layout cycle.

• Fix Menu Bug in Electron Apps.

• Fix Focus Ghosting in Applications after switching tags.

Attention

Before Compiling, remember to check the *.h files for personalized issues.

• Please note that only the patches inside the rxdwm-6.4/Patched/ directory are the ones that have been patched into the build. Any .diff or .patch in the rxdwm-6.4/Unpatched/ directory were removed at an earlier date for any reason.
