Re: [dwm] An "overlapped tiled" layout

Hello,

I've applied a modified version of your patch to my copy of dwm.

I don't quite understand the need to set stack_mode to 'Above' and then
'Below' when reached the selected client (in restack(void)). Actually,
this alone messes with monocle layout (open a floating window and
you'll see the n - 1 window is no longer the one beneath the
new floating window. Once removed, I didn't see a change in
tileo...

Thanks anyway for your patch, I like it :-)
