1 centeredmaster

4 Description
5 -----------
6 `centeredmaster` and `centeredfloatingmaster` are two stack layouts for dwm.
7
8 `centeredmaster` centers the nmaster area on screen, using `mfact * monitor
9 width & height`, with the stacked windows distributed to the left and right. It
10 can be selected with [Alt]+[u].

12 With one and two clients in master respectively this results in:

27 `centeredfloatingmaster` centers the nmaster area on screen, using `mfact *
28 monitor width & height` over a horizontally tiled `stack` area, comparable to a
29 scratchpad. It can be selected with [Alt]+[o].

46 These stack layouts can be useful on large screens, where `monocle` or `htile`
47 might be either too large or forcing the user to type in a corner of the
48 screen. They allow for instance to center the editor while being able to keep
49 an eye on background processes (logs, tests,...)
