Could you please post your .Xdefaults? (I'm interested in your color scheme).

Re: Show off your Dwm configuration!

Mines pretty vanilla, and I would love some tips on making it purdy.

I have conky displaying the current time and track in mpd. If the track title is longer than 15 characters, it scrolls.

Does anyone know how to make a terminal take up all the vertical space it can? (hard to word. the terminal doesn't take all of the screen vertically, which shows my wallpaper.

Re: Show off your Dwm configuration!

Looking good, tylerlong.  A couple of things:

1) Take a look at the DWM Arch wiki page, especially the section concerning size hints; that should help you take care of that empty space around your terminal window.  No guarantee depending on which terminal you use, but it works with most of the popular ones.

2) You'll want to resize your screenshot to fit our image guidlines.  Any moment now, a mod is going to come along and take your shot down.

Nice desktop there, are you listening to some compilation/cover album? That song you are listening to is originally done by Blind Guardian.

It's Van Canto's cover of the song. Van Canto is a metal acapella group which covers several metal classics. Mainly they are singers of several metal bands that started this as a side project.

Grid to find back the sh.. spread over all tags. (MOD-0)

I've been using openbox for 2 years. I tested, probably too quickly, several tiling WMs without getting convinced enough to make the jump. To my defense, I must say that my PC is used by several Windozians because it's connected to the living-room big stereo. I don't feel like explaining these people the use of a tiling WM. To make it worst it happens often during evenings where they are more or less drunk (and  me too :-).

For the Windozians I put a few launchers in dwm-trayer. It's not the best solution as the little app I wrote to put launchers in the system tray are GTK2 apps with all the overhead it brings.

I need many desktops as I tend to put only one application per tag: What made me fall in love with DWM is the ability to bring in the current tag stuff from other tags (MOD-CTRL-n) and to attach a window to several tags. Dynamic and flexible smile.

Patches I use :
- grid (to find back all the sh.. I spread on all the tags...)
- nextprevtag
- azerty

I also use a plain conky, urxvt with pseudo transparency, mygtkmenu, terminus font...

My config will probably evolve but right now I'm quite happy with it.

Re: Show off your Dwm configuration!

Hello, I'm using DWM because I was looking for a Tiling WM, and I was learning C so I supposed DWM would help me a bit tongue
So far I like it, but there is one problem.

When I resize a "window" in let's say Desktop1 it also resizes the window that is in the same field in Desktop2, and that's a bit annoying.
Is this why is it called a dynamic window manager ?

Is there some kind of patch to change this ? Or any similar WMs that don't do this ? (Configured in C)
Thanks.

Wrong place to ask, you can probably request a patch here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=92895 or since you are learning C you can try make a patch yourself maybe.

Re: Show off your Dwm configuration!

I suspect the pertag patch would "fix" this, but I haven't used it.  It is not a problem, that's how dwm works: there are not separate "desktops", just different tags.  When you change the layout, you change the layout - you don't resize windows as windows don't really have sizes assigned, they just fill part of the layout.

If you're looking for other WMs, you might like MonsterWM which is very similar to DWM just without a (default/builtin) status bar and with workspaces rather than tags, so it'll do what you intended here.

thank you mate.


@rasi
it is not any script just some conky configuration with terminus2 font.

Re: Show off your Dwm configuration!

I made my dwmstatus look like this:

dwmstatus

The important bits are the percentage bars, which are basically unicode characters generated by conky displayed with the fixed font ("-*-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" to be precise) and which change their size dynamically according to the percentage.

The same is true for the up and down arrows which only show if something is up or downloaded.  If the up and download rate is roughly the same both, up and down arrow will show. This can of course also be used to display the read/write rate of the hard disk as well.

The other "icons" are just obscure unicode characters which I found in the fixed font.

This is realized with a lua script. You will have to activate lua build flags for conky to make this work. If you include the script with "lua_load /home/<user>/.conky.lua" the important functions are ${lua bar $<percentage vlaue>} for the percentage bar and ${lua updown $<up speed per second> $<down speed per second>} for the up and down arrow.

Re: Show off your Dwm configuration!

Hey, I encountered some problem as I wanted to patch my dwm with that systray script… always giving me errors… does anyone have an idea how to fix it or knows a workaround? Patching it still works, but when it comes to recompile there is an error due to missing variable instantiation and I don't really know what to do…
Help is appreciated! tongue
Thanks. smile

This isn't a support thread. You are better off asking the maintainer of the patch about any errors...

Re: Show off your Dwm configuration!

domac, you could also start a new thread for that issue, several of us would probably be willing, and possibly able, to help.
