+This side project has a very different take on dwm patching. It uses preprocessor directives to decide whether or not to include a patch during build time; essentially this means that this build, for better or worse, contains both the patched _and_ the original code. The aim being that you can select which patches to include and the build will contain that code and nothing more.
+
+For example to include the alpha patch then you would only need to flip this setting from 0 to 1 in `dwm.c`:
+```c
+#define ALPHA_PATCH 1
+```
+
+Refer to [https://dwm.suckless.org/](https://dwm.suckless.org/) for details on the dwm window manager, how to install it and how it works.
