Dwm - How do I make room for a dzen2 panel? wah/wax??

Ashren · 2008-03-03 21:09:14

I've been reading the dwm mailinglist for some time and everytime the question of two statusbars comes up dwm guys refer to wah and wax. I understand that these variables reside in the dwm.c, but if I would want a 15 pixel gap at the top of my screen what should I change?

I appreciate any answer that would guide or help me in any way.

Thanks

i'm not sure what you're asking, a 15 pixel gap?
So you want the status bar to look like:

[1=2=3=etc.===========]               [=============]

?

He's saying he wants to know how to create a 15px margin between the top of his screen and the applications he has open--space for a panel to appear along the top of his screen.

in dwm.c in the setup function:

        sx = sy = 0;
        sw = DisplayWidth(dpy, screen);
        sh = DisplayHeight(dpy, screen);

changing it to

        sx = 0;
        sx = 15;
        sw = DisplayWidth(dpy, screen);
        sh = DisplayHeight(dpy, screen) - 15;

may do the trick. emphasis on the may, i havent tested. this is the area of dwm.c you want to focus on either way.

Thank you rson451 your recommendation worked out, although after I decided to have dzen2 at the bottom of the screen sx =15; was not needed.

Here's a scrot:

This will surely give me courage to tinker more with dwm.c.

Hey cool, Ashren. Mind if I have your dzen config?

Ashren · 2008-03-05 06:38:50

Sure, F. I changed it a bit after that scrot:

~/bin/conky-cli2 -c ~/.conkyrc6 | dzen2 -y 883 -fg '#e5e5e5' -bg '#43464f' -ta c -sa c -fn '-*-dina-medium-r-*-*-15-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' -p -e'' &

and the .conkyrc

background no
out_to_console yes
update_interval 1
total_run_times 0
uppercase no 
use_spacer yes
