Fullscreen swallow issue

[Deleted user]

When swallowing in a fullscreen terminal window, the new client spawns in floating mode (with messed up geometry). This has been fixed in Luke's build LukeSmithxyz/dwm@7d73565.

That commit has nothing to do with this though, it has to do with retaining the border width of the terminal. The change is also for this patch: https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/swallow/

That the new window has its own size hints is expected behaviour with this version of the swallow patch.

I presume your expectation here is that the new window should also be in fullscreen, in which case I might propose something like this:

Yes, that's what I wanted. Your above suggestion works great. Thanks!
