Here's my laptop as it looks now. Not much visible changes though. Biggest under-the-hood one is that I ditched conky & dzen2 and replaced that with a pure bash statusbar. Was some fun project, although I depended heavily on existing status scripts.

The screen is 7in.

The dims for the entire book are 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"

Small update to my DWM: I removed the layout icons patch and added the viewontag patch (when moving a client to tag x, switch to tag x too). I haven't decided yet if viewontag is a keeper as it sometimes gets in my way.

Yes you may, but currently I am happy with my Faenza Would get a bit too purple otherwise

How can you display your fonts like that? It's not xfontsel for sure.

Awesome font! I'm trying to get your font working in the DWM statusbar, but I'm not having too much luck. I've installed the font succesfully (following Lokaltog's tutorial), which I confirmed because the font is displayed correctly in URxvt, but in the DWM statusbar none of the icons are showing up. For instance, in my .xinitrc where I set the DWM statusbar, if I put the following lines:

a=$(echo -e "\xC6")
xsetroot -name "$a ....."

Nothing shows up. Not the correct symbol (i.e. the pacman logo) and not even everything following the $a, whatever that might be. More or less the same is true for the rest of the bar (i.e. the workspaces and tiling text). I've included my config.h thus far below:

};

Again, instead of showing the character belonging to the hex value \xC9 (i.e. the tiling symbol in the font) for the tiling layout, it simply shows nothing. What strikes me the most is that some other characters do work. For instance, if I change \xC9 or \xC6 to \x01 (a diamond symbol), it does work as expected. I'm kind of out of ideas about what I could be doing wrong, so I hope somebody can shed some light on this for me. Thanks!

Edit:
I fixed it myself, by setting my locale to en_US ISO-8859-1. Forgot this step after I did a complete re-installation of Arch a while ago.

Crosspost from monthly:

Changes from my old screenshot are an extended patch (first one I made though most credit should go to OK100 from the Arch boards since he has helped me with *cough* most * cough* (read: all)). When in monocle layout, it now also counts the windows and displays an icon (I drew those ) with the number of windows. Also, stlarch made a font which consists solely of icons. You can see it in my statusbar; the icons are a tad bigger than the ones in the ohsnap.icons font. Not sure which I like better, but we'll see. Lastly, I have edited the Ambiance GTK2 a little and I'm still working on the GTK3 version. (gtk 3.2 -> 3.4 broke it )

you can bind the Modkey to Mod4Mask in config.h or change it for your Terminal.
