The nature of dwm is that official patches are applied to the stock dwm.c. When applying >1 patch, you should expect to manually apply the diffs. Also, you should probably create a support thread for this.

Any chance you expand a little about what this does and how to use it?

I was interested too but the link is broken

Unia · 2014-04-12 11:38:48

Otherwise you could try a Google search... there are numerous links popping up that have an older version of prefix key patch.

if there is more than one client in stack you can see gap which increases every time a new client is spawned in stack

Yeah, I've spotted that issue as well, it's some kind of rounding error. I'll think of a fix.

Edit: I've updated the patch, it works for me now without the increasing-gaps-issue.

This patch is awesome! Thanks. I was just what i was looking for.

Where is a good place to get support for DWM?

When I run 'startx' and have 'exec dwm' in my .xinitrc, the screen goes pitch black and no key bindings worked. I installed i3 and it loaded fine, so I'm not sure the issue is with xorg. I've 'sudo make uninstall', and then downloaded a vanilla dwm-6.0.tar.gz to reinstall. That still doesn't work.

I run dwm on another virtual machine and it works great! I love all the patches and configs!

jasonwryan · 2014-04-18 19:59:19

Not here. Set up dwm to log any errors to a file and then open a support thread with the debugging information.

while true; do
    dwm 2> ~/dwm.log
done

Your Xorg log would also be relevant.

drobati · 2014-04-18 21:26:00

Thanks Jason. I did use that dwm-start, but it didn't produce anything meaningful. I'll do as suggested.

Is there a patch for chorded key combinations like in Emacs? I know about the command mode patch (vim-like command+insert mode), but it's only a single mode, while I need multiple.
I come from i3, where modes are built-in. For example, pressing Mod4+U enables a mode where all 'U'tils are single key press. "Mod4+U,H" is htop, "Mod4+U,A" is alsamixer, etc. I have another mode (Mod4+C) for internet-related apps, then couple of more modes for other app categories and folders.
I just don't have enough keyboard keys for all the things I need, so I resorted to this.

Alternatively, I *think* I could use xbindkeys for a wm-agnostic key combos, but I haven't had success yet (need to RTFM more).

You should take a look at sxhkd [1] as an alternative to xbindkeys. It supports chorded key combinations, as well.

Has anyone had any success porting the ansistatuscolors patch (or any equivalent) to 6.1? I'm not familiar enough with the code to make those changes myself. The changes that added drw.[hc] broke most of the graphical patches, such as Xft, pango, statuscolors, etc.

I would be using 6.0 but I simply cannot live without the multi-monitor patches for 6.1 ATM.

Any help is appreciated.

I have hand-patched runorraise in dwm-6.0. The build is successful and dwm seems to be working fine, but I have a warning message during build:

dwm.c: In function ‘runorraise’:

      const char **app = arg->v;
                         ^

and the function:

     const char **app = arg->v;
     Arg a = { .ui = ~0 };                                                   
     Monitor *mon;                                               
     Client *c;                  
     XClassHint hint = { NULL, NULL };                                           
     for (mon = mons; mon; mon = mon->next) {                               
       for (c = mon->clients; c; c = c->next) {                                
         XGetClassHint(dpy, c->win, &hint);                                
         if (hint.res_class && strcmp(app[2], hint.res_class) == 0) {                  
           a.ui = c->tags;                  
           view(&a);                    
           focus(c);                               
           return;                 
         }                                  
       }              
     }                                    
     spawn(arg);                                    
}

My C knowledge is very limited. Can anyone tell how to fix it?

ewaller · 2014-05-16 22:29:44

Omit the 'const' keyword.

ivoarch · 2014-05-16 22:42:50

Try this one - http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/runorraise

totolotto · 2014-05-17 05:07:39

@ ewaller
I have the same warning without const keyword.

@ivoarch
I tried but this patch does not work (at least for 6.0) - it does not find the client so that just gets opened again and again.

Actually, you had to add a const. The correct line would be :

const char * const * app = arg->v;

ivoarch · 2014-05-17 08:27:38

I've tested it and it works prefect on dwm 6.0
Something is wrong in your config.h?

// example for run or raise Firefox
static const char *browser[] = { "firefox", NULL, NULL, NULL, "Firefox" }
{ Modkey,                       XK_f,      runorraise,     {.v = browser } },

totolotto · 2014-05-17 15:36:16

@jpgg
Perfect, it builds now without warning!

@ivoarch
You are also right as in my config.h I have less arguments

static const char *term[] = { "urxvtc", NULL, "URxvt" };

but to be honest I have not tried it since jpgg's solution is simpler in this case. Thanks, both of you!

Hi, I just made a patch for something similar to statuscolor. I did the best I could. I am sure many people in this forum can do it better. It has some limitations, only works with dwmstatus and by default it has 4 colors. You can see the code in my repo (https://github.com/algui91/myDWM/blob/m … color.diff).

My current config is in the `myconfig` branch (https://github.com/algui91/myDWM/tree/myconfig).

Also, If you do not have any code for dwmstatus, here is mine (https://github.com/algui91/myDWMstatus), it has some hard coded things, like the net (eth0, wlan0 etc), but that is easily editable.

Here is an screenshot link here (http://i.imgbox.com/dUIp8myK.png):

Simple Status Color for dwm 6.1

Hope it helps!, And everyone feel free to improve my patch.

Best regards.

Spacing issues still exist. As the patch stands this still happens:

holomorph wrote:

For instance, in
xsetroot -name "$(printf "a\x01b\x02c")"
both `a` and `b` would get buried.

On the other hand, changing whether pad is 0 or 1 in calls to drw_text will juggle between fixing the above and introducing other spacing bugs.

So I've been sloppily trying to get a couple things working, and my near-nonexistent C skills and knowledge have left me stumped. The first thing is this centerclock patch; I'd like the clock to be displayed on the far right of the statusbar---next to the status text---and leave the maximum width of the section at the number of characters in the clock text. I haven't quite figured out how to draw the clock text in its own section rather than replacing the status or window title text.

The second thing is to just change the window border color from dc.sel[ColBorder] to dc.norm[ColBG] in the monocle layout, to match the statusbar. This removes the visual distraction of the border, but leaves a few pixels of padding around the screen edge and below the statusbar text. If I've only got one window visible I'm in monocle mode anyway, so something like the better-borders and noborders patches seems like overkill. I've sort of figured out how this might work, but nothing reliable. Like I said, I don't really grok C.

I'm using dwm 6.0. I've been fumbling around with this for two days, so if anyone's got some pointers, or is willing to make those modifications, I'd be grateful.

I don't know if this is here already here, but, I will still post it.
In the screenshots the font is set to Comic Sans.

Use different font for status text and for the layout text:

I could come up with something in the next week or so, maybe next two weeks. University is starting again on monday, so I have some others things to take care of first.
