A fork of the dwm tiling window manager that embeds dozens of popular dwm patches behind preprocessor directives, letting users enable or disable each patch by flipping a flag in patches.def.h before compiling. It serves as both a ready-to-build patched dwm and a playground for exploring which patches to adopt before hand-patching vanilla dwm.
Use cases
- try dwm without manually applying patches
- enable the pertag patch by flipping a config flag and recompiling
- explore what a fully patched dwm looks like before patching from scratch
- build a custom dwm with only the patches I want
- strip unused flexipatch code using flexipatch-finalizer
When to choose
- you want dwm with many patches but dread manual patching
- you want to experiment with different patch combinations quickly
- you plan to use flexipatch-finalizer to produce a clean minimal build
When to avoid
- you want vanilla, unmodified dwm
- you need a Wayland compositor rather than an X11 window manager
- you prefer maintaining your own patch set from upstream dwm
