Docks Doesn't Reserve Space

[onuronsekiz]

I am trying to use svkbd as a dock application. However when it runs, it overlaps (or gets below) to existing windows.
I have applied dock patch I found but couldn't prevail to make dock applications reserve space at bottom of screen.
Patch can be applicable to latest vanilla dwm and it works as intended, but so much code has been changed for flexipatch.
I don't think INSET_PATCH is a suitable option for this because different size monitors will fail.

There wouldn't be anything dock related that would reserve space. Some docks disappear and appear when you move your mouse to the bottom, for example.

The insets patch sounds like it should be the right one. Looking at the patch on the suckless site I see that it is possible to set a different inset on a per monitor basis, but this would be via function calls not something that is configurable by default.

Something that you could try is the anybar patch to make dwm treat the dock as an external bar. Not sure how it would behave when you hide the bar though.
