[SOLVED] dwm + gkrellm. gkrellm in all tags + apps not over it

Question

hi! i'm using dwm right now, and it's here to stay in my config, but i'm a convert from fluxbox, and on it, i used to run gkrellm, it was beautifull to have it showed in every desktop, so right now i think if it's posible to have gkrellm in dwm, in the exact same behavior, so it shows in every tag, and the opened apps, dont get over it, like the slit in fluxbox...
here's my config.h, i've added gkrellm to the floating apps list, but don't know how to edit it so gkrellm show in every tag

decreasing window area height would leave space at the _bottom_
ww-=200;
is probably what you meant

You need to define a rule to make it floating and tag it with all tags.
{ "gkrellm",  NULL,       "gkrellm",  ~0,            True },
Also you might patch dwm.c to leave some space on the right for the
window, e.g. in updategeom:
wh-=200;
Kind regards,
Anselm

{ "gkrellm",  NULL,       "gkrellm",  (1 << 9) - 1,            True },
or you could just replace (1 << 9) - 1 with 511.
