Devoid WM

A simple x11 tiling window manager

Devoid tries to abide by the principle - "Do one thing, do it well". All it is is a window manager which manages windows. It neither come with a bar nor does it have the ability to spawn programs. Users are meant to use external well written and robust programs like the sxhkd for binding keys and lemonbar. Like dwm, devoid is configured by editing the source code directly.

The layout that devoid uses is the master-slave or the tiled layout

The documentation is a work in progress. However if you happen to use dwm, configuring devoid should be very similar.
Devoid is still under a testing phase, however it is pretty usable.
More features will be added sooner or later. All pull requests are welcomed.
Multi-monitor support is current lacking.
Some function implementation is taken from other window managers like dwm and catwm

bug: border_width adds gaps to top and left of window

anytime I set the border_width to anything other than 0 it adds gaps to the top and the left of the window of the same size as what was set as the border_width

example of bug:

this can somewhat be solved by setting the bottom and right margins to the same value as the border_width however this doesn't solve the issue if you don't want any gaps or want the gaps to be smaller than the border_width.

example of workaround:

I also tried messing with setting negative values in the margins but it really just ends up breaking more and figured creating a github issue or trying to create a pull request with a more official fix would be a better solution. I would write a pull request myself, however I am very new to C and need to learn the syntax so It would prob take much longer for me to try and fix it than just creating a github issue. If there is anything I can do to help fix this bug just let me know :).

Sidenote: I am loving this WM, it's like dwm but without a bar or the ability to spawn programs, which I don't want my window manager to do anyways. Keep up the good work and hopefully I can contribute to the project in the future when I am more proficient with C.
