Hi Arg,

Titlebars are very helpful to me (I use them as many other users with
screen and bash generally). I really don't see the point of removing
them, unless you treat making the code smaller a sport :).

I also *usually* view one tag at a time, but keeping this flexibility
(for both viewing multiple tags and having multiple tags on a client) is
good so that most dwm users can use it the way it's most convenient for
them. I use both of the features sometimes and I'm glad it's there. It
makes the tag philosophy fully flexible. Otherwise we could just as well
have “desktops“ or what not.

Since you wrote the code without any external pressure I don't suppose
it's too difficult for you to maintain these two bits of functionality.
I would very much wish that they stay (or otherwise I'll have to stay
with dwm-2.2 and miss on bugfixes and perhaps some cleanups).

Anyway, thanks for your work as usual :).

Best,
