1 current\_desktop 2 ================ 3 4 Description 5 ----------- 6 Sets \_NET\_NUMBER\_OF\_DESKTOPS and \_NET\_CURRENT\_DESKTOP on root to 7 appropriate values. Note that 'appropriate' for these values don't make sense 8 as xprop -root output, since dwm uses them at bitwise but xprop displays them 9 in base ten. In other words, if you have 4 desktops, 10 \_NET\_NUMBER\_OF\_DESKTOPS is actualy 0b1111 but xprop displays this as 15. 11 I'm ok with this, because the end-user (program, script, w/e) can always parse 12 this appropriately. The same goes for \_NET\_CURRENT\_DESKTOP: if you have 13 desktops 1 and 3 selected, the value is 0b1010, but xprop shows this as 10. 14 This isn't a problem. 15 16 I should note that in this case, \_NET\_NUMBER\_OF\_DESKTOPS does not exactly 17 conform to EWMH specifications: in reality, there are many more 'desktops' than 18 15 (in the above example), as any combination of 1, 2, 3 or 4 of the availables 19 tags can be considered one desktop. \_CURRENT\_DESKTOP will, however, always be 20 less that \_NET\_NUMBER\_OF\_DESKTOPS, so I'm happy with that. 21 22 I wrote this patch mainly for myself, as I have a script for tabbed that uses 23 it (I will upload this later). I am open to feedback/contstructive criticism. 24 Email is at the bottom. 25 26 Download 27 -------- 28 * [dwm-current\_desktop-5.8.2.diff](dwm-current_desktop-5.8.2.diff) (dwm 2010604) 29 30 Author 31 ------ 32 * Wolfgang S. - ezzieyguywuf at gmail period com
