Show off your Dwm configuration!

Did something wrong when applying a patch and failed and didn't have a backup so I've somehow lost the useless gaps ..Strangely enough I still have gappx defined in my config.h and it doesn't spit out errors..I've also patched it to only show active tags in the statusbar..

Can I have your uselessgap patch? I tried one from dwm.suckless.org and I always get double gaps between windows when using pango patch too.

JokerBoy · 2011-05-30 18:40:44

try this one.

el mariachi · 2011-05-31 09:28:07

jokerboy: the update patch and the rest are your doing or does suckless keep a repo of those?

JokerBoy · 2011-05-31 09:35:17

the update patch is an update from 5.8.2 to the latest commit. regarding the rest, they are from here, from there and so on.

I used that very patch, all I did was manually paste the code into the files, because once you apply a certain amount of patches, the diffs aren't accurate anymore.

Gotta love Megurine Luka. Arguably better than Miku

Since there are so many patches applied to my DWM, I was considering making a git repo for it, so others could snag the source. Let me know if anyone cares.

That would be nice!

Thx for the wallpaper

The default config.h I tried to make generic, but still reflect what you can do very easily to add hotkeys etc...
There's always config.h.def to check out also, if you want to customize even more.

Hi guys, great desktops you have there. I just started using dwm, read the whole thread but didn't find solution to my problem. I would like to give different colours to the text at my dwm statusbar, I have already tried using ANSI escape codes, but it didn't work. I want to change the colours through my .xinitrc. Here is the vital part of this file:

#set statusbar
while true;
do
xsetroot -name "Bat $( acpi -b | awk '{ print $4 " " $5 }' | tr -d ',' ) Vol $(amixer get PCM | tail -1 | awk '{ prin
t $5 }' | tr -d '[]') $(date +"%a %d %b %R")"
sleep 1s
done &
exec dwm

Do you have any ideas? I don't want to use conky or dzen and pipe them, just standard statusbar.

Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to dwm and I'm trying to customize it to my tastes, it's going pretty so far except for one thing: I'm having problems with "static const Layout layouts[] = ", I'm trying to get the emoji ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼ to show up in my status bar when I'm in tile mode, however this is what happens:

I didn't change much and it's patched with pango
Any ideas on how to fix this?

@Eleison:
That's strange, seems like encoding problem, but I don't know how to fix it ;(

Here is result of my work with statsucolors patch:

I'm thinking what else could I do to make it better desktop, so any suggestions will be appreciated ;]

-- mod edit: read the rules and only post thumbnails https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=61754 [jwr] --

-- author edit: I resized the thumbs from 272 px to 250 px like rules say (below 50 kB), there are still hidden links to the fullsize images

It seems like it's looking for config.def.h and dwm.c but I don't have those files.... I installed it from the abs and all I have in my dwm folder is:

config.h  dwm-5.8.2-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz  dwm-5.8.2.tar.gz  dwm.desktop  dwm.install  pkg  PKGBUILD  src

Okay it's in there and it's patchable however anything I change in those files don't seem to affect the recompilation. It only uses the config.h file I have in the dwm folder, not the src one.
