I think this is simply outside dwm's scope. dwm's configuration is, as
you say, "static", and this makes it internally a lot simpler. If you
want this functionality you may want to use something like wmii
instead. You could set a keybind for dwm to exec itself so you can
"reread" config.h, but this would lose the current tagging. I am
absolutely fine with tags numbered 1 to 9, and don't want the code
mudded up with dynamic tag naming such-and-such.

As for "not showing unoccupied tags", here's a short patch for tip:

        for(i = 0; i < LENGTH(tags); i++) {
+ if(!(occ & 1 << i || m->tagset[m->seltags] & 1 << i))
+ continue;
                dc.w = TEXTW(tags[i]);
                col = m->tagset[m->seltags] & 1 << i ? dc.sel : dc.norm;
                drawtext(tags[i], col, urg & 1 << i);

But I prefer the standard behaviour.

Thanks,
