+| [`04-boxdraw.patch`](st-patches/04-boxdraw.patch) | Renders box-drawing/braille characters natively instead of relying on the font |
+| [`05-vertcenter.patch`](st-patches/05-vertcenter.patch) | Vertically centers glyphs that don't fill the cell (pairs with boxdraw) |
+| [`06-alpha.patch`](st-patches/06-alpha.patch) | Background transparency (`-A`/`alpha`), needs a compositor |
+| [`07-blinking_cursor.patch`](st-patches/07-blinking_cursor.patch) | Blinking cursor support with a configurable rate |
+| [`08-bold-is-not-bright.patch`](st-patches/08-bold-is-not-bright.patch) | Bold text no longer automatically renders in the bright color variant |
+| [`09-anysize.patch`](st-patches/09-anysize.patch) | Window can be resized to any pixel size instead of snapping to whole cells |
+
+[`config/st/config.def.h`](config/st/config.def.h) is copied over the patched
+source before building, so local tweaks (font, colours, alpha default, cursor
+style, keybinds) survive a rebuild — edit it and re-run `install.sh` to apply
