[Solved] Conky+dwm

I'm planning to use Conky as a nice status bar for dwm. Will it work using the out_to_console=yes option or do I need to install conky-cli for that?

I believe you'll need conky-cli (that's what I use anyway) otherwise it'll do weird things with your desktop regardless of the console output setting.

Re: [Solved] Conky+dwm

you'll need a one line .conkyrc and conky-cli piped to dwm
