Well, three things:
1) You have to spend more than 5 minutes learning how to use it.

2) All of the settings are available in the config file which you have to edit before compiling and installing. The developer even states in so many words that it is pointless for distributions to provide
binary installers for this WM.

and,

3) Many of the options, including additional layouts, system tray, and other added functionality are easily available in the form of "patches" via the website http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/. They are intentionally left out because the point behind dwm is to be no more, and no less than the window manager the user needs.

You referred to "Awesome" as a better alternative because of it's enormous number of features. Let me ask you something; Do you use all. or even a fraction of all those features? If your answer is no, then perhaps you should reconsider.

Most of the time, when someone wants a powerful WM geared toward power users, I steer them toward i3, but only because it's a bit more inclusive, and has a runtime config file. dwm is admittedly a WM for those of us that like to tweak, and tinker. If you're the type who would rather get hit by a car, rather than tinker with source code, should probably stick withe something easier, such as i3.

Yep, it's just skype

This isn't mine but I was wondering if anyone could answer some questions I have about it; how do I get a statusbar like that at the top and what is the bottom bar? Is it a list of clients in the current tag? (i'd really like that if that's what it is)

That is an old one of mine. The top bar is conky piped to dzen (I have since given up on that and just use a shell script). The bottom bar is my tmux status, you can find that in my configs.

jgr · 2015-12-22 01:27:32

@jasonwryan Can't believe I didn't notice that was tmux! I'm currently working on emulating your status bar for my own config using https://github.com/gstk/siji for the icons because yours is really great. I'll post a screenshot when it's done.

BTW If anyone does know how to get a list of clients for the current tag to display in a statusbar I would greatly appreciate it!

EDIT: @jasonwryan I've been going through your config a lot and am a little confused about how to use the statuscolors patch, the documentation for it seems a little lax. On the patch page it says to pipe the status line into dwm (that doesn't seem right). However in yours you set the color codes in xsetroot, however when I try to do that I just get block chars around my status bar text. I'm using dwm-git from aur so i'm applying the dwm-6.1-statuscolors patch, which applies fine but doesn't include the colors array in config.h that the patch seems to depend on :S. I did end up adding the array myself, is there something I missed?

EDIT: nevermind, I hadn't set the array up properly. here's an updated statuscolors patch that adds the necessary changes to config.h

I think those are just unicode glyphs rather than true icons - you just need a font that supports them - search for tutorials on the subject.

olliemath,

A floating window? In a dynamic tiling window manager? Herecy!

Hi sergio.correia, I really like your status bar (looking like vim powerline) with all these icons too. Could you please post your config files ?? Thank you very much !!

Hello,

I don't have it like that anymore, as I ditched the systray and changed mostly the colors, to something more monochromatic. Here's the current config:

Screenshot:

I started off with this guy's setup: https://github.com/kusk/dwm
And I just uploaded my repository at https://github.com/qrwteyrutiyoup/dwm

Font:
I am using this font: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qrwte … p-bold.ttf

Status:
The status uses this program, written in Go: https://gist.github.com/qrwteyrutiyoup/ … 05203ebcd0
To build it:

$ go build

inside the directory containing the source file. You need Go installed, naturally.

The status program needs a config file like this one: https://gist.github.com/qrwteyrutiyoup/ … e58602bb8a

You run it like

program-name config-file

, passing the config JSON file as parameter.

For this config, you need to adjust the network interface (wlp2s0, in my case) and the sound device (1, in my case. You can check the available devices with

$ pactl list sinks short

If you use a different font, you can specify the Unicode glyphs you want to use for the calendar, clock, etc.

Kinda messy, but I didn't get back to this to make it more intuitive.

Colors:
If you intend to change the colors, to make it like it was in my previous post you will basically deal with the colors array in config.h and also in the Go status program, in the var block.

Good luck and hope this can be useful to you. Feel free to ask if you have questions/issues.

My dual screen DWM

Nothing fancy, except fancybar (pun intended) and uselessgap pathces. Changed the top bar color from gray to black, that's it.

I'm totally ditching XFCE4 and Fluxbox, this is just so fantastic. Modified Win + num to spawn suitable programs corresponding the tag, like Win + 1 spawns urxvt, Win + 4 spawns Spotify etc.
