Sorry, but patches for dwm to port selected functionality from instantWM to dwm would be by far too much work. Our instantWM has diverged too much from dwm and changes too much. Additionally, much of instantWM functionality depends on certain programs to be installed and working, which cannot reasonably guaranteed on other systems. The maintenance and testing burden would just be too much and out of scope for instantOS. It's its own window manager and not compatible with dwm. If you want some of the functionality, implement it in dwm and maintain the patch yourself. We develop instantOS and want to improve and develop that, not dwm. I hope you understand.
