+Subject: [PATCH] Mainmon - Main monitor for the statusbar
+
+This small patch add a mainmon value to the config.def.h.
+It let's the user choose a monitor on which to have the
+statusbar show-up. The status will no longer follow which
+monitor is currently selected.
+
+It is especially usefull in two scenarios:
+- A monitor is setup vertically and has little room for the status.
+- Dwm is used in a public environment and it's user does not want
+ the contents of the status bar to be shown (i.e. on a projector).

+mainmon
+==========
+
+Description
+-----------
+By default, the contents of the status bar are shown on the selected monitor.
+This can be an annoyance in a couple of scenarios:
+
+* If you have a vertical monitor, it might not be possible to see the entire
+ status bar on it.
+* If you use your computer in public (i.e. using a projector), you might not
+ want others to see the contents of the status bar.
+
+This patch add a configurable `mainmon` option to the `config.def.h` which
+defines the monitor where the status bar is shown. It no longer follows
+focus.
