Similar to [dwm-flexipatch](https://github.com/bakkeby/dwm-flexipatch) this st 0.8.2 (c279f5, 2020-04-19) project has a different take on st 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 [patches.h](https://github.com/bakkeby/st-flexipatch/blob/master/patches.def.h):
|
|
```c
|
|
#define ALPHA_PATCH 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once you have found out what works for you and what doesn't then you should be in a better position to choose patches should you want to start patching from scratch.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively if you have found the patches you want, but don't want the rest of the flexipatch entanglement on your plate then you may want to have a look at [flexipatch-finalizer](https://github.com/bakkeby/flexipatch-finalizer); a custom pre-processor tool that removes all the unused flexipatch code leaving you with a build that contains the patches you selected.
