My own customized build of dwm

dwm is an extremely fast tiling window manager for X. This is my personal build of dwm, which includes the following patches:

alternativetags: allow switching tags between normal and alternative set of icons in runtime
attachaside: make new clients appear in the stacking area instead of master
bottomstack: layout which puts the stacking area at the bottom
focusonclick: make clients focused only by mouse click and not only by mouse hover
gaplessgrid: layout which arranges all clients in a grid
push: move clients through the list with simple keybinds
scratchpad: spawn or restore a single floating terminal client
statuspadding: make horizontal and vertical padding of the statusbar configurable
uselessgap: add a configurable gap around clients for aesthetics purposes
viewontag: follow clients to the tag they are being moved to

Apart from the patches, my current build is complemented with extra customizations to other different programs and utilities:

nerd-fonts: the only font needed at the moment is DroidSansMono Nerd Font
alacritty: terminal emulator, the build assumes that it is properly installed and available in the path
dmenu: dynamic menu for X, used as application launcher
Libraries: libx11, libxinerama, libxft and freetype2
