dwm-titus's Introduction

dwm - dynamic window manager

dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.

This is my personal fork with following patches:

alwayscenter
alwaysfullscreen
auto start
cfacts
chatterino bottom
cool autostart
fakefullscreen client (with resize fix for chrome-based browsers + noborder fix)
multikeycode
movestack
noborder (floating + border flicker fix)
pertag
placemouse
resizepoint
statuscmd
swallow
switchtag
systray
true fullscreen
hide vacant tags
warp v2
winicon

Some patches are rewritten or modified to work together.

Requirements

In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.

Installation

Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if necessary as root):

make clean install

Running dwm

Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:

exec dwm

In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:

DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm

(This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)

In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something like this in your .xinitrc:

while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
do
	sleep 1
done &
exec dwm

Configuration

The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code.

dwm-titus's Issues

Consider using dwmblocks instead of xsetroot

Hey Titus, not an issue per se, but using xsetroot (and trap) is a pretty clunky way of getting a status bar inside dwm. I'd recommend using dwmblocks-async, which allows for each block to have a separate update interval, clickable status messages, and signalling via kill for immediate updates (like a volume percentage).

For some examples you can see my statusbar scripts here, as well as my custom build of dwmblocks-async here. Luke Smith and the creator of dwmblocks-async both also have some status bar scripts you could take a look at.

I've also gotten togglable scripts that let you see different things working using temp files, with a script that looks something like this:

#!/bin/sh

# shellcheck disable=SC2015

ALTERNATE_FILE="/tmp/blocks_system"

case "$BLOCK_BUTTON" in
    1) [ -f "$ALTERNATE_FILE" ] && rm "$ALTERNATE_FILE" || touch "$ALTERNATE_FILE" ;;
    3) setsid -f "$TERMINAL" -e htop ;;
    6) setsid -f "$TERMINAL" -e "$EDITOR" "$0" ;;
esac

if [ -f "$ALTERNATE_FILE" ]; then
    value=$(top -b -n 1 | awk '/%Cpu\(s\)/{print int($2)"%"}')
    icon="<U+E266>"
else
    value=$(free -h | awk '/Mem/ {print $3"/"$2}' | sed 's/Gi/G/g; s/Mi/M/g')
    icon="<U+EFC5>"
fi

echo "$icon $value"

font icons size issue in status bar

the size of icons in status bar are not getting big when I increase the font size

Dwm.desktop file

Not really an issue but maybe you should consider having a dwm.desktop file in this repo so you can easily copy it to xsessions when switching distros. I have one in my repo if you want to copy.

missing some X11 deps..?

On Debian 11 testing,
After installing libx11-dev, running make clean install
I get this error:

~/dwm-titus (main) [2]> make clean install
rm -f dwm drw.o dwm.o util.o dwm-6.3.tar.gz

compilation terminated.
make: *** [Makefile:18: drw.o] Error 1

The config file is as default.
Also tried changing to another directory from /usr/local/ for the prefix and still get the same error.

Update: changed the location to X11 as

X11INC = /usr/include/X11
X11LIB = /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

Still getting that same error
