    - [noborder](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/noborder/)
       - removes the border when there is only one window visible
 
+   - [nodmenu](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/nodmenu/)
+      - enable modifying dmenu in config.def.h which resulted previously in a compilation error because two lines of code hardcode dmenu into dwm
+      - allows complete removal of dmenu, should you want to do that

    - [onlyquitonempty](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/onlyquitonempty/)
       - makes it so dwm will only exit via quit() if no windows are open (in order to prevent accidental loss of work)
