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
