gapps question

[kmarzic]

Hi,

Do you know why after some time gapps are not equals, and they start to "grow" on some tag:

I am using the following patches:

$ cat patches.h | grep "^#define" | grep "1$"
#define BAR_AWESOMEBAR_PATCH 1
#define BAR_LTSYMBOL_PATCH 1
#define BAR_STATUS_PATCH 1
#define BAR_STATUS2D_PATCH 1
#define BAR_SYSTRAY_PATCH 1
#define BAR_TAGS_PATCH 1
#define BAR_WINICON_PATCH 1
#define BAR_WINTITLE_PATCH 1
#define BAR_TITLE_LEFT_PAD_PATCH 1
#define BAR_ALPHA_PATCH 1
#define BAR_BORDER_PATCH 1
#define BAR_IGNORE_XFT_ERRORS_WHEN_DRAWING_TEXT_PATCH 1
#define BAR_PADDING_PATCH 1
#define BAR_STATUSPADDING_PATCH 1
#define ATTACHASIDE_PATCH 1
#define CENTER_PATCH 1
#define CYCLELAYOUTS_PATCH 1
#define MONITOR_RULES_PATCH 1
#define MOVESTACK_PATCH 1
#define PERTAG_PATCH 1
#define PERTAG_VANITYGAPS_PATCH 1
#define SAVEFLOATS_PATCH 1
#define SCRATCHPADS_PATCH 1
#define VANITYGAPS_PATCH 1
#define VANITYGAPS_MONOCLE_PATCH 1
#define DECK_LAYOUT 1
#define HORIZGRID_LAYOUT 1
#define TILE_LAYOUT 1
#define MONOCLE_LAYOUT 1

Best regards

Gaps between what exactly?

If it is specifically about gaps between windows and for the window area border (vanitygaps) then you have PERTAG_VANITYGAPS_PATCH enabled which means that the gaps are stored on a per tag basis.

Possibly you are doing some keybindings that also increases the gaps, which is easy to do if you have changed the MODKEY to be Mod4Mask (Super) as the default keybindings may then conflict.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
My problem is the gap between screen border and window border.
Yes, I switched MODKEY from Mod1Mask (Alt) to Mod4Mask (Super) - maybe that is the reason the gaps are increasing.

Maybe have a look at these:

dwm-flexipatch/config.def.h

Lines 942 to 957 in 0404e12

	{ MODKEY|Mod4Mask, XK_u, incrgaps, {.i = +1 } },
	{ MODKEY|Mod4Mask|ShiftMask, XK_u, incrgaps, {.i = -1 } },
	{ MODKEY|Mod4Mask, XK_i, incrigaps, {.i = +1 } },
	{ MODKEY|Mod4Mask|ShiftMask, XK_i, incrigaps, {.i = -1 } },
	{ MODKEY|Mod4Mask, XK_o, incrogaps, {.i = +1 } },
	{ MODKEY|Mod4Mask|ShiftMask, XK_o, incrogaps, {.i = -1 } },
	{ MODKEY|Mod4Mask, XK_6, incrihgaps, {.i = +1 } },
	{ MODKEY|Mod4Mask|ShiftMask, XK_6, incrihgaps, {.i = -1 } },
	{ MODKEY|Mod4Mask, XK_7, incrivgaps, {.i = +1 } },
	{ MODKEY|Mod4Mask|ShiftMask, XK_7, incrivgaps, {.i = -1 } },
	{ MODKEY|Mod4Mask, XK_8, incrohgaps, {.i = +1 } },
	{ MODKEY|Mod4Mask|ShiftMask, XK_8, incrohgaps, {.i = -1 } },
	{ MODKEY|Mod4Mask, XK_9, incrovgaps, {.i = +1 } },
	{ MODKEY|Mod4Mask|ShiftMask, XK_9, incrovgaps, {.i = -1 } },
	{ MODKEY|Mod4Mask, XK_0, togglegaps, {0} },
	{ MODKEY|Mod4Mask|ShiftMask, XK_0, defaultgaps, {0} },

If you use MOD+i or MOD+o then the gaps would increase yes. You can change all the Mod4Mask references to Mod1Mask to have the original behaviour after changing the MODKEY.

Hi,
Thanks a lot!
Yes, this what was causing problems in my configuration
