1 centeredmaster 2 ============== 3 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: 13 14 +------------------------------+ +------------------------------+ 15 |+--------++--------++--------+| |+--------++--------++--------+| 16 || || || || || || || || 17 || || || || || || M1 || || 18 || || || || || || || || 19 || S2 || M || S1 || || |+--------+| || 20 || || || || || |+--------+| || 21 || || || || || || || || 22 || || || || || || M2 || || 23 || || || || || || || || 24 |+--------++--------++--------+| |+--------++--------++--------+| 25 +------------------------------+ +------------------------------+ 26 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.

They allow for instance to center the editor while being able to keep 49 an eye on background processes (logs, tests,...) 50 51 Download 52 -------- 53 * [dwm-centeredmaster-6.1.diff](dwm-centeredmaster-6.1.diff) 54 * [dwm-centeredmaster-20160719-56a31dc.diff](dwm-centeredmaster-20160719-56a31dc.diff) 55 56 Authors 57 ------- 58 * [Jérôme Andrieux](http://blog.jardinmagique.info) - <jerome@gcu.info> 59 * Laslo Hunhold - <dev@frign.de> (6.1, git ports)
