Show off your Dwm configuration!

I was really wanting to have color in my status bar using conky and the default dwm status bar, and had come across this solution, but found that it was more demanding on my cpu than I would have liked (conky's man warns of this), but figured out that the problem was really with the interval, and that this could easily be fixed by changing his solution to something like this:

${execi 10000 echo -e \\x04}

This works great because you aren't really looking to update the color except when making a modification to conky, and then you would update it manually anyway. I thought I would share this since I saw a couple of other posts from people wanting to do the same thing.

dwm + statuscolors, fancybar, fibonacci, attachabove, uselessgap

conkyrc:

out_to_console yes
out_to_x no
background no
update_interval 5
total_run_times 0
use_spacer none

Giving dwm another try and loving it so far. ty to OK100 for making his files available. They helped a lot.

* Inconsolata font.
* Conky used in the bar.
* Arch Suede wallpaper.
* Lich colors.

How did you guys get stalonetray into dwm top bar like that? I've been trying to figure out how but don't know =/

Tray on screenshots is fbpanel-dwm from AUR, but now I'm using a patch that adds tray directly into dwm. You can find it in my dwm repo.

Haptic · 2011-04-11 02:18:33

Mine's not too elegant, bit at least it looks pretty clean. I still get a gap at the bottom when there are 2 urxvts stacked even with the patched version, but it doesn't bother me enough for me to do something about it.

Have you tried resizehints?

static const Bool resizehints  = False; /*  True means respect size hints in tiled resizals */

Haptic · 2011-04-11 02:30:59

That worked. ha.

It's from simpledesktops http://simpledesktops.com/browse/

Search it there.

Thanks! Awesome site, I din't know about it.

Not particularly exciting. Just my work desktop, I switched when gnome hit version 3.

I still use tray (fbpanel-dwm from AUR) but it's set to autohide

What menu is that? is it set to right-click?

I'm looking for a way of having a statusbar with icons and info about which netcfg profile is active, like the one tvale uses. He seems to be afk though

Menu is mygtkmenu from AUR and I set this script, which generates menu in config.h to desktop right-click: https://github.com/ok100/configs/blob/m … gtkmenu.py
See my github for more details.

vanvalium · 2011-05-09 20:47:28

nice! I'll totally steal that script, a menu was always missing for me

cf8 · 2011-05-10 10:33:18

also have a look at xmenud, its a similar menu app

vanvalium · 2011-05-10 13:14:59

Thanks, but mygtkmenu seems enough.
I also ditched the python-script as automatic menus aren't necessary for me and tend to get to clustered with useless apps.

Do you care to share the name of the file manager in the right bottom of the screenshot?

It's mc, with menu, command line and keybar turned off.

You have to add this before you define media keys:

#include "X11/XF86keysym.h"

Other errors mean you should clean the code -- aka. remove / comment parts you don't use.

This isn't a support thread (that's why it's in Screenshots ), and the beauty of dwm's code is that even without knowing C, you can figure most of it out...

Where each of the errors occurs, just review the relevant lines in config.h and you will see what is wrong. No commas after spawn, for example...

el mariachi · 2011-05-15 20:30:30

Thanks I didn't notice the missing commas *facepalm*

And sorry for posting this here...

I'll contribute in a correct way in the future
