Problem with modified statuscolors patch for dwm?
Hi,
I have patched dwm HEAD with jgrar's modified statuscolors patch that can be found here:
https://github.com/jgrar/dwm-patches/tr … atuscolors
No other patch is applied. The patch fix various problems I had with the original one, but I'm not able to set the background color like with the original:
The background color is always the same as "normal" background in config.h. I not completely sure if the modified patch removes the option to set background color or if it's an error.
Does anyone use the modified statuscolors patch and are able to set background color?

Yes. Paste your config.{,.def}.h

Are you 100% sure?
I have now tried with jgrar's customized dwm on multiple distros and the background color is not being set.
