Those are some fabulous imaginary numbers that don't really apply. If
I found myself doing work like that I'd probably use a nice
workspace-based window manager. Instead, I don't have a set 'layout',
and I just add and remove clients and groups of clients to and from
the stack. If I had to keep in my head which layout was applied to
each of my ten tags, I'd have to think about my window management, and
the reason I use dwm is to let the computer do that for me.

Older versions of dwm's description specified that it was for
high-resolution screens. I wish they'd put that back. You *can* buy
high-resolution notebooks. I have one.

I don't think you understand tags.

Thank you for your agreement on this matter.
