How are you restarting your dwmbar?
Need suggestion on how are you restarting your dwm status bar set with xsetroot and not the classic dwmblocks. I have a script dwmbar which loads the status bar. Then I use another script which reloads the status bar whenever I press volume key, which takes significant time.

Your usage would look like: { MODKEY, XK_s, spawn, SHCMD("systemctl suspend") }, `` Also a better idea to suspend could be to lock system when recovered from suspended state. Check [this script](https://github.com/chhajedji/scripts/blob/master/suspend_lock.sh) to suspend the computer. It usesi3lock` to lock system.

Can I get a taskbar with BPSWM or i3?
It's optional though and you can easily replace it with something else. A lot of i3/bspwm users use something like polybar, lemonbar or yabar instead. When I was on bspwm I used tint2. These are all highly customizable, and tiling wm users tend to be the sort who want to customize them, which can be time consuming. But you can use almost anything, even something like the xfce4 panel if you want.
