Compilation of fullscreen patches for dwm.

This aims to provide a comprehensive fullscreen solution with the following features:

  • toggle fullscreen for any window using a single keybinding rather than having to rely on per-application keybindings
  • the ability to have windows go fullscreen within the size and position the window is currently in (a.k.a. fake fullscreen)
  • allow a fullscreen window to be moved to an adjacent monitor while remaining fullscreen
  • make fullscreen windows lose fullscreen if another (e.g. new) window on the same monitor receives focus, while still allowing dialog boxes to show while in fullscreen
  • allow seamless transition between the two fullscreen modes

The default keybindings are:

  • MOD+f to make a window fullscreen
  • MOD+Shift+f to make a window fake fullscreen

This incorporates, and expands on, the following patches:
