Nice little tweaks here & there.

Looks great, easy to set up and configure?

Off to a good start.
At the moment the binary is compiled within the EveningWM directory so just remember to set the start command in ~/.xinitrc to the path to the EveningWM binary.

The main problems I found so far with EveningWM;

Windows and terminals require focus before a keyboard input is recognised-dev working on this.
EveningWM is unable to ignore bars, docks at this time - TBD I believe.
