@ Paul-S

what's the bar you are using?

As always, really nice.

I particularly like the font: does the zero bother you at all? That's why I use the {slashed,dotted} variant.

Also, after having a look through your github; have you looked at surfraw to handle all your custom searches?

Paul-S · 2012-08-26 09:58:44

x33a the bar is dzen2 and conky.

jasonwryan I'd never really thought about the zero, so I guess it doesn't bother me. But surfraw is exactly what I been looking for the searches, thanks.

Cheers

How do you get the < "like" in your bar? And what is it called :S

May be a little off topic, but is that vim on the left with the green N? If so, could you share your configuration for that bottom bar? Seems like the molokai (monokai) theme, so I already know that one ;D

It's the plugin vim-powerline.

Here's a new version of my desktop. I reworked my tag-bar which now displays the client-count for each tag. Additionally window titles are drawn centered now.

Here's a link to my Bitbucket repository. I didn't take care of any backwards compatibility but I guess some patches should be easily extractable from commit history.

[replaced]
turned out nice, set BOTTOM_BAR_HEIGHT for conky. set dwm restart without exiting, still looking for ways to move tiles and set focus, and having trouble with XF86audio/.Xmodmap; but i'll figure it out.

^ I recall seeing a patch once that enabled restart without exit. Are you using that, or are you using a loop to start DWM in? If it's the patch, can you share?

And here's what I use for volume. The keycodes can be found using xev:

static const char *volup[]    = { "amixer", "-q", "sset", "Master", "5%+", "unmute", NULL };
static const char *voldown[]  = { "amixer", "-q", "sset", "Master", "5%-", "unmute", NULL };
static const char *volmute[]  = { "amixer", "-q", "sset", "Master", "toggle", NULL };
...
    { 0,                            0x1008ff13,      spawn,          {.v = volup } },
    { 0,                            0x1008ff11,      spawn,          {.v = voldown } },
    { 0,                            0x1008ff12,      spawn,          {.v = volmute } },

EDIT: Oh, and you might wanna resize your screenshot to thumbnail size and link that to the bigger picture.

~/.xinitrc

if [ -f $HOME/.Xmodmap ]; then
    /usr/bin/xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap
fi

exec /bin/startdwm

/bin/startdwm

#!/bin/bash
#this file is called by .xinitrc to start some nice apps for dwm

conky -x 0 -y 0 -d 

feh --bg-scale /usr/share/wallpapers/garner.jpg

#set chromium as default browser

     BROWSER=chromium

while true; do
    # Log stderror to a file

    # No error logging
    #dwm >/dev/null 2>&1
    xsetroot -name "$(date +"%a %b %d %r")"
    sleep 1m
done

dwm

dwm respawns after 1 minute using alt + shft + Q
killall startdwm -> exit.

Still confused on those Volume Keys, with xev I found ~/.Xmodmap does define the correct key, they are just unresponsive. Maybe this means something

CC dwm.c
dwm.c: In function ‘keypress’:
dwm.c:1087:2: warning: ‘XKeycodeToKeysym’ is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/X11/Xlib.h:1695) [-Wdeprecated-declarations]

Ah so you don't use the patch. Ok

I don't know why you are using Xmodmap. I don't use that and my keys work fine. Just run xev in your terminal, move the mouse in the white square it creates and press your volume buttons. Output will be similar to this:

KeyPress event, serial 29, synthetic NO, window 0x1200001,
    root 0xa8, subw 0x1200002, time 4160041, (30,48), root:(716,69),
    state 0x0, keycode 65 (keysym 0x20, space), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (20) " "
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (20) " "
    XFilterEvent returns: False

You will want the value keycode. Then just take my part of config.h and substitute those keycodes. It should work.
You can fix the warning using this patch: https://github.com/Unia/DWM-XFT/blob/ma … m_fix.diff I don't think it's causing this, though.

Lastly, makepkg is a part of ABS. I used ABS to get the source files for building DWM once. I moved those to a directory in my $HOME ($HOME/abs/dwm) and built and compile in there:

# abs community/dwm
$ cp -r /var/abs/community/dwm $HOME/abs/
$ cd $HOME/abs/dwm
.... edit and patch .....
$ makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD
$ makepkg -o
$ makepkg -efi

ackt1c · 2012-10-18 15:43:24

#include <X11/XF86keysym.h>
static const char *volup[]    = { "amixer", "-q", "sset", "Master", "5%+", "unmute", NULL };
static const char *voldown[]  = { "amixer", "-q", "sset", "Master", "5%-", "unmute", NULL };
static const char *volmute[]  = { "amixer", "-q", "sset", "Master", "toggle", NULL };
static Key keys[] = {
	{ 0,                            XF86XK_AudioRaiseVolume,      spawn,        {.v = volup } },
	{ 0,                            XF86XK_AudioLowerVolume,      spawn,        {.v = voldown } },
	{ 0,                            XF86XK_AudioMute,      spawn,        {.v = volmute } },

Works, now just for moving these tiles and setting focus.

^ Oh, thanks. It was actually just out of curiosity I think the loop is simpler and just as effective.

JLloyd13 · 2012-10-18 23:42:48

I am switching back and forth between dwm and openbox daily, but anyway here is dwm. at the moment just looking around for a better icon theme to go with the brown and improve the lua code in conky as it is a little leaky

ackt1c · 2012-10-18 23:56:56

Finally got http://lists.suckless.org/dev/att-11661/dwm-xkblib.diff
in ~/.dwm/src/dwm-6.0 and

patch -p1 < dwm-x*

worked. The others I tried all failed; but now I can't killall startdwm and exit to bash successfully, just blanks, but that's a fglrx/x problem

that is indeed the gtk theme I'm using, a clearlooks color variation, so yeah, i've seen it I was talking about the icons (right now just using the ugly gnome ones) trying out some more icons right now
