      4 Description
      5 -----------
      6 `centeredmaster` and `centeredfloatingmaster` are two stack layouts for dwm.
      7 
      8 `centeredmaster` centers the nmaster area on screen, using `mfact * monitor
      9 width & height`, with the stacked windows distributed to the left and right. It
     10 can be selected with [Alt]+[u].
     11 
     12 With one and two clients in master respectively this results in:

     27 `centeredfloatingmaster` centers the nmaster area on screen, using `mfact *
     28 monitor width & height` over a horizontally tiled `stack` area, comparable to a
     29 scratchpad. It can be selected with [Alt]+[o].

     46 These stack layouts can be useful on large screens, where `monocle` or `htile`
     47 might be either too large or forcing the user to type in a corner of the

     49 an eye on background processes (logs, tests,...)
