how does one get the pertag patch to work?is it supposed to keep each tag with their own layout, say tag1 with floating, tag 2 with monocle..or..?and if it does, how do i "activate" it, because i apply it and my tags are the same throughout..:(

jasonwryan · 2010-11-08 17:25:39

Did it apply cleanly? You shouldn't need to activate it: just set a layout in each tag and as you move between them they should stick...

sam87 · 2010-11-08 18:06:43

at first i got a few lines that failed to patch, and i added them manually, i hope that's what i was supposed to do, and then i compiled it and it worked fine, as in no errors and all that.But when i set a layout, it sets it to all the tags, am using pango-dwm by the way, from the AUR.maybe that has something to do with it?

jasonwryan · 2010-11-08 18:44:54

Yes, it sounds like you patched it correctly. Try patching against a vanilla 5.8.2 and see how you go...

If I'm not mistaken, people use the dzen2 status bar most of the time. It alows you to have both colors and icons. As an alternative, there is a patch at suckless.org that allows the native status bar to have colors: http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/statuscolors

0mark · 2010-11-09 08:13:58

@Dethredic:
There is a second color patch (http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/fancyco … rclickable), but i is not maintained any more (but was until dwm 5.8 or so). Also, there is the experimental branch of my dwm patchset, which features 'real' colors and icons and bar graphs (also icons as bar graph). Its in the aur as 'dwm-sprinkles-svn-experimental'.

JokerBoy · 2010-11-09 09:27:10

@jasonwryan - what pertag patch with initlayouts are you using on 5.8.2? from what i see here is for 5.7.2 and i assume that must be one for 5.8.2. or not.

jasonwryan · 2010-11-09 17:27:44

From memory, the 5.7.2 patch works on 5.8.2 - looking back through my patchset, I don't see that I have made any changes.

Nice screenie btw. That font is a nice choice.

kcirick · 2010-12-17 03:31:35

Just migrated from i3. I like it as much as i3. Both have pros and cons

The patches I've applied are AttachAside, BottomStack, and NMaster. The status bar is native status bar (i.e. not using conky/dzen2). I found out that if I used dzen2, then the statusbar stays on one monitor only (I now use dual-monitor set up), so I researched a little bit to do it this way (most I got from Gentoo wiki).

The config.h is as follows

ahhh username and pass BEFORE the address, i was trying to make a python script do that for a while but couldnt get it to logon if anyone wants the python version instead of using wget i can post it (just replacing wget with urllib.urlopen().read() )

Using python function instead of wget makes much more sense... I never use python, and I just got this piece of code somewhere on the internet, so it's probably not elegant at all. I will try this. Thanks

markbabc · 2010-12-17 04:14:52

import urllib
# Enter your username and password below within double quotes
username="username"
password="password"

msg = urllib.urlopen("https://%s:%s@mail.google.com/mail/feed/atom"%(username,password)).read()
index=str.find(msg,"<fullcount>")
index2=str.find(msg,"</fullcount>")
fc=int(msg[index+11:index2])

if fc==0:
    print "0 new"
else:
    print str(fc)+" new"

btw its python2 because python3.x didnt like urllib.urlopen and didnt give me the option to use urllib2.urlopen
Also the import of strings is not needed because str is a built in function

yay, I changed from openbox to dwm and it's so nice
I use latest dwm from hg repo (→ dwm-5.9) along with push, bstack and pertag patches.

here are my confs along with a mirror branch which I'll keep up to date as long I use dwm

I created an updated, Python3 compatible version of your script yesterday, it's a part of my dwm status script and it's available in my GitHub repo. The script can check multiple accounts (Google Apps accounts as well as regular Gmail accounts), and the accounts are configured in ~/.gmailaccounts in the format "url|username|password", e.g. "ht tps://mail.google.c om/mail/feed/atom|user@gmail.com|password".

I've created a standalone version as well:

#!/usr/bin/python

import urllib.request
import xml.dom.minidom

unread = []

for account in open(os.environ['HOME'] + '/.gmailaccounts', encoding='utf-8'):

    auth_handler = urllib.request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler()
    auth_handler.add_password(realm='New mail feed', uri='https://mail.google.com/', user=user, passwd=passwd)
    opener = urllib.request.build_opener(auth_handler)
    urllib.request.install_opener(opener)

    request = urllib.request.urlopen(url)
    dom = xml.dom.minidom.parseString(request.read())
    count = dom.getElementsByTagName('fullcount')[0].childNodes[0].data

    unread.append(count)

# the unread list contains the unread count of each mail account
print(' / '.join(unread))
