My fork of dwm. The following patches have been applied:
- autostart
- pertag
- centeredmaster
- noborder
- bottomstack
- bstackhorizontal
Configuration has been changed to add Alt+O and Alt+U (conflicts with nano editor)
for other changes. See config.def.h
for my current configuration.
ProFont needs to be installed for this fork of dwm to render properly. A czech localization of the font is included in the repository.
For the brightness settings to work, isntall mkdark
and mklight
into
PATH and the .dwm
into your home directory.
The two scripts in .dwm
can be used to auomatically execute commands on
dwm startup.
If you want to get a useful status bar, install slstatus
or one of those
Go pieces of shit. Alternatively, you can write your own status application
as it is pretty easy, just use xsetroot -name (stuff)
command to set the
status to whatever you want.
dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
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
If you are going to use the default bluegray color scheme it is highly recommended to also install the bluegray files shipped in the dextra package.
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
The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code.
