Re: [dwm] Border hater, border lover

You remember me that I considered this for mainstream dwm a while ago,
but forgot about it. Since all tiled windows are restacked under the
bar window, I don't see any flaws in this solution. The usual way of
doing it, would be to set the c->bw to 0 in such a case, but some
clients perform poorly with this, so I really like this particular
solution.

Any objections in making this mainstream?

Kind regards,
Anselm
