- You need to recompile dwm after every change you make to its source code.
cd ~/.config/chadwm/chadwm
rm config.h
sudo make install
- Bar : in bar.sh (line 9) and config.def.h (line 35)
- eww : in eww.scss (line 1)
- rofi : in config.rasi (line 15)
- First, make sure you have copied the eww directory to your config:
cp -r ~/.config/chadwm/eww ~/.config/
- To launch the eww widget, you need the following command:
eww open eww
- If you use alsa to manage your audio, instead of pulseaudio or pipewire, you can also launch an alsa widget:
eww open alsa-gui
- It could be a good idea to add these lines to your autostart file, located at ~/.config/chadwm/scripts/run.sh
