This is nice.
I've played around with it, and have had some progress:
* Fixed the nmaster == 0 case. The original patch would create an empty
master area.
* Expoit the mfact < 0 possibility. When mfact is set to negative, use
the slave area as master area, and vice versa. This makes it possible
to put masters on the right in tile, for example. Adjusting setmfact()
for this, for now, but we should probably make this more flexible...
* Port my original spiral layout to play with this patch.
I've attached the patch and the spiral layout as attachments.
And a question. What is your plan on dealing with mfact/nmaster? As I've
always insisted, they should be both monitor- and layout-specific. What's
your opinion, and how would you approach this?
Thanks
