Wallpaper option

[betim]

Feature: add a tack to set itself as a wallpaper.

I just tried it and it takes 1/3 of the primary monitor pushing all other windows down. I tried to drag it but does not allow.

Great idea though! 👍

@betim Sorry, I think fix for KDE/Gnome disappearance issue broke i3wm behavior. I just pushed a commit that fixes it. Can you please try again and let me know how it works for you now?

In suckless dwm, using no wallpaper (xsetroot -gray), it works like a wallpaper! It occupies all screen width, leaving a void above and below - to retain aspect ratio apparently. But it does not behave like a window, it doesn't occupy part of the stack of windows.

I just recompiled it from the master and now the window does not appear at all. Here:
