This is my personal fork of dwl. It is based on release 0.7 and contains custom patches and a custom config.h.

It is not intended for general use, some parts of it will rely on my specific hardware and software preferences. I will try to document these below.

This fork is intended to be dwl with a few additional features while still adhering to suckless philosophy to a lesser extent. Features I do not see as necessary will not be added.

Current Features:

• All features provided by dwl-7.0
• Additional monitor configuration

Planned Features:

• Improved slave/master management (this will definitely be implemented but the proposed methods of improving it may or may not be implemented).
  • pertag (Seperate layout, nmaster and mfact for each tag)
  • zoomswap (Swap current window and previous master when zooming)
  • winview (switches the visible tags to the tags on which the current client is visible)
  • Swap current visible tags with visible tags on different monitor
  • singletagset (share a single set of tags between all monitors. Might implement it to work a bit differently still unsure what would be best.)
  • sticky (make a client visible on all tags)
  • follow (optionally follow a window when it is sent to another tag)
  • stacker (lots more stack management)
  • attachbottom (but with alternate keybind to launch windows like this, not default)
• Startup script
• spawninfo (Allows running spawn commands with information about the focused window)
• commands to notify-send with information that would usually be in a bar or window title

Features Under Consideration:

• IPC (will only be added if it is the simplest way to implement a needed feature)
• More layout functions
• Window groups (so several windows can be in a stack in a single tile position.)
• shiftview (cycle through tags with visible windows)
• Patches to reduce flickering, apps going black and other bugs that I haven't personally experienced yet.

Unplanned Features:

• Status bar
• Window titlebars
• Eyecandy (gaps, rounded corners, wallpaper, animations etc.)

Will add ebuild for this fork in the future but for now build manually.

Note: Unlike upstream XWayland is enabled by default, so dependencies required by X use flag are required by default as well. XWayland can be disabled by commenting out the lines below # XWayland Support in config.mk and uncommenting the lines below No XWayland Suport.

=dwl-0.7::gentoo respects user defined CC and PKG_CONFIG. Building manually will not. If you want to use something other than gcc and pkg-config set that in config.mk. You may want to set other options as well. e.g. make CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe"

Additional Dependencies:

• kitty: used in termcmd in config.h
• wofi: used in menucmd in config.h

RDEPEND+="
    x11-terms/kitty
    gui-apps/wofi

Useful non-dependencies:

• wlr-randr available in gui-apps/wlr-randr::guru. Helps check monitor config being applied correctly.

• MonitorRule in config.h
