Thanks for the tip. I've already tried that patch but it doesn't seem to work (link is broken) and formatting is off when I try to copy/paste that text into a text file.

This worked in (much) older versions - untested in 5.8.2: in dwm.c at 1822

m->mh = m->wh = unique[i].height - BOTTOM_BAR_HEIGHT;

and in your config.h

#define BOTTOM_BAR_HEIGHT 18

# edit wrong line number...

Thanks for the tip, also your trick really works

"m->mh = m->wh = unique[i].height;" is now located at "2213" so by changing it into "m->mh = m->wh = unique[i].height - BOTTOM_BAR_HEIGHT;" makes your dreams come true

Here's the pic :

I used a dirty trick to make conky not to move, I added 15px border to my wallpaper and used "own_window no setting" At least it's working!

EDIT1: Confirmed working with dwm-5.8.2, I'll add a picture later.
EDIT2: Picture added.

I've just modified this part in my dwm.c to get a gap for the system tray and dzen2 bar:

void
updatebarpos(Monitor *m) {
m->wy = m->my;
m->wh = m->mh ;
if(m->showbar) {
m->wh -= bh;
m->by = m->topbar ? m->wy : m->wy + m->wh;
m->wy = m->topbar ? m->wy + bh : m->wy;
}
else
m->by = -bh;
}

With

m->wh = m->mh - BOTTOM_GAP;

Of course BOTTOM_GAP defined in my config.h and it works pretty good.

JokerBoy · 2011-05-27 16:44:45

this patch looks better. define marginbottom in your config.h.

In addition to the error, it would be helpful if you described exactly what you did as you applied the patch. Are you sure you updated your config.h?

There are two versions of bstack: one to use w/ pertag, the other one to use w/o pertag.

i downloaded bstack,pertag and fibonacci from suckless and saved in may dwm config folder.then i cd into it and runed the patch with patch < dwm-5.8.2-bstack.diff , patch < dwm-5.8.2-pertag.dff , patch < dwm-5.8.2-fibonacci.dff and after that i edited my dwm.c & config.h and tried to recompile
here is my config.h http://pastebin.com/ukGJ59HM and dwm.c http://pastebin.com/89QZ9MW7

jasonwryan · 2011-06-09 21:24:09

You have to setlayouts in your keys section for the additional layouts you specify in layouts...

As karol said, you'll need to use dwm-5.8.2-bstack-alt.diff with pertag. And if i'm correct, then you have to apply pertag first and then bstack-alt.

lutherus · 2011-06-10 12:59:32

I patched it.Thx for help.But i have only 2 layouts.Dwm compiles without errors but i have only 2 layouts and in my config.h are 4

x33a · 2011-06-10 13:17:15

Please post your config.h again.

From what i can see, you'll have to define new keys for the other 2 layouts.

I know that, and i agree with that. I suppose guiding someone doesn't count as spoon feeding. I remember having a lot of difficulty starting out with dwm, but the great community here including jason and yourself helped me out. Heck, even today applying new patches to dwm can be intimidating.

Cheers.

I really wanted a clickable bar in dwm (for clicking windows), but I found the fancycoloredbarclickable patch too complicated, so I merged fancybar with fancycoloredbarclickable to create fancybarclickable. I find the fancybar part especially useful when using surf, and the clickable part indispensable when in tablet mode on my tablet PC. Posting it here in case anyone is interested.

http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=1Fzj5J4x

This patches against vanilla dwm 5.8.2.

The original patches (fancycoloredbarclickable and fancybar) are available at suckless.org.

I've also updated tilemovemouse for dwm 5.8.2 (it was last updated for dwm 5.3 I think), which just amounted to adding in the multiple monitors code. It allows you to move tiled windows by dragging them while holding the mod key and works with any tiling layout. To use, add

#include "tilemovemouse.c"

in your config.h before your mousebindings, and add a mouse binding using it. For instance, I chose to replace the mouse binding for movemouse with tilemovemouse.

thanks for tilemovemouse one, will be usefull for me

Gooru · 2011-06-22 16:14:27

I have strange problem with statusbar, after changing font the zero from battery state suddenly disappeared. Here is screenshot with tested command:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4446135/2011-06 … _scrot.png
Any ideas?

EDIT: Sry for the size of screenshot, it's bigger now. I was not aware it's unreadable.

EDIT: I fixed it, don't know why, but deleting statuscolor specific characters (\x01) helped. It was really strange bug, because with the other font it was displaying normally. I'm still wondering what could cause such a strange behaviour. I'd like to read what do you guys think

I just created a simple patch i want to share, that places windows in floating mode a bit different. I don't know if there exists already a similar patch. It looks like this:

I applied the gestures patch to my dwm, and it patched successfully, but I am unsure how to use it. Here is the mousebinding I used to activate it:

{ ClkWinTitle,          0,              Button3,        startgesture,   {0} },

Here is the command for the gesture I am trying to execute

{"d", spawn, SHCMD("easystroke send disable") },

which is a gesture to toggle my other gesture software (for if I disable easystroke using an easystroke gesture, I can't turn it back on, except if I run `easystroke send disable` from the commandline). In any case, the command itself is immaterial, because I tried testing with an ordinary command, such as `xournal` to spawn Xournal, and nothing happened. What I did was after right-clicking the window title, still holding the right-click (Button3), I wrote the letter "d", lowercase, with my mouse. I've tried changing this line to use other letters and then re-compiling and trying to gesture again, to no avail.

I know something is happening because when I right-click the window title, the mouse changes, which doesn't occur with stock dwm. I thought perhaps I had another patch that interfered, but applying this patch on stock dwm gave the same result. I've concluded I must be doing the mouse gesture wrong, and would appreciate some advice. Thanks.

Also, this patch should work because a person mentioned his usage of it in the dwm mailing list.
