My monocle just do this
                resize(c, sx-c->border, sy-c->border, sw, sh, False);
to hide borders..

Is your focus-on-click really working? I'm not with dwm atm, so if
you have client A focused and click on client B's button (if it's gui),
is it pressed or do you need 2 clicks, one for focus and second for actual
pressing?
