Yet another dzen2 bar, icon and clickable tags for DWM

linktohack · 2011-02-22 12:21:07

I just switched to dwm and it's really awsome so I customized it a bit: A script to display dzen2 on top of dwm status bar which show:

tags
icons
and these tags are really clickable,
and even highlight the active tags.

It's quite simple though and lots of people would do better works but I really like it and wanna share it here.
Here is some screenshots:

Usage:
Download script from here:

https://github.com/linktohack/dztags-gen

Make a directory dwm resouces eg: ~/.dwm
Download XBM ICON PACK from here:

http://dzen.geekmode.org/wiki/wiki.cgi/ … nIconPacks

and extract it to a directory inside the above directory, eg: ~/.dwm/xbm8x8/
Customize the script if needed (Tags name, icon prefix, color...)
Run setup command, eg:

dztags-gen --setup ~/.dwm
                        |_ no trailling slash

And finally run dztags script to show dzen2 bar, eg:

~/.dwm/dztags &

[link@Link-Arch ~]$ ./dztags-gen/dztags-gen --help

dztags-gen

Script to generate dztags and dztagsrsc
dztags: Infinite loop script show dzen2-svn from dztagsrc

Usage: 
  Dayly use: (through dztags)
    dztags-gen number /path/to/dztagsrc
  OR
  First time:
    dztags-gen --setup /path/to/dztags/dir
                                          |_ no trailling slash
