dstatus - dwm status bar

Hey guys,


for quite some time I've been working on dstatus for my own desktop. To share and improve dstatus I'd like to introduce it to the ArchLinux community now. dstatus is a small but expandable status application designed for use with dwm. While it certainly doesn't fit the suckless approach due to its use of plugins it now works rather nice.

Features:

- dstatus features a plugin system. This makes it easy to add new plugins that add information not accessible right now.
- dstatus features groups. Groups bind together parts of your status line. If a dynamic part of that group becomes undisplayable (muted volume for example) the whole group will be hidden.
- dstatus' format can be configured via config.h. It's syntax is described in the project's README.
- dstatus' plugins can be configured via config.mk. It enables to exclude certain plugins from compilation and installation

Currently there aren't many plugins, just some basic stuff for time, volume, mpd and battery. I'd be happy to accept contributions for new plugins.

If you're interested compile and try this small application and provide some feedback. The project can be found at Bitbucket.

Here's a link to the dstatus AUR package.

Regards,
Patrick
