Ratakor's build of dwm

Important notes

For default keybinds read the man pages, it is up to date, there are no default keybinds for st or dmenu to allow the use of other terminal or application launcher without recompiling.

Thus this build of dwm can be used as a package and modified only through sxhkd and Xresources.

Gaps are disabled by default, it's possible to enable them via Xresources by setting dwm.enablegaps to +1 or by setting enablegaps to 1 in config.h, it's even possible to enable them on the fly with super + shift + g.

patch added and changes iirc

• azerty
• attach aside
• barheight
• canfocusrule
• rainbow tab
• Xresources but default to dracula theme
• alpha (transparency)
• quitprompt (super + shift + e)
• bartab (all app are shown in status bar and have an optional border)
• 3 layouts, tile, bottom stack and floating
• true fullscreen (super + f)
• colors in status bar
• status bar on all monitors
• cycle layouts (super + shift + space)
• smartborders
• gaps (also in bar, everything can be toggled on/off with super + shift + g)
• restart with kill -10 $(pidof dwm)

TODO

• Add rofi or any application launcher support to quitprompt
• Fix ugly hard code of font because icons are too big or too small
• Add an azerty configuration switch maybe or autodetect layout idk

dwm - dynamic window manager

dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.

Requirements

In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.

Installation

Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if necessary as root):

make clean install

Running dwm

Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:

exec dwm

In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:

DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm

(This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)

In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something like this in your .xinitrc:

while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
do
	sleep 1
done &
exec dwm

Configuration

The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code.
