  • eww bar with dwm
    2 projects | /r/suckless | 24 Aug 2022
    I've never used eww, but I've seen some of the configurations (not in dwm) which use shell commands like wmctrl to change workspaces and such. I believe you could accomplish most of the things you need with dwm-ipc, which has a command-line utility called dwm-msg.
  • dwm-ipc: patch does not apply
    2 projects | /r/suckless | 13 Oct 2021
    I'm trying to apply this patch https://github.com/mihirlad55/dwm-ipc for installing https://github.com/mihirlad55/polybar-dwm-module. However patching fails
  • multiple status segments with barmodules patch
    3 projects | /r/suckless | 27 Aug 2021
    I've applied the barmodules patch with the hope of controlling multiple status segments via IPC.
  • DWM Remove Keyboard and Mouse Support Patch!

    If you want to use an external bar with dwm, you should take a look at dwm-ipc. That patch lets you receive tag information which you can pipe into lemonbar.

  • Manage different configurations based on computer.

    That is the conclusion I arrived at as well and I happened to write up a guide for how to add that: How_to_add_host_specific_configuration
  • semi-scratchpads
    1 project | /r/duskwm | 10 Nov 2021
    Just to give a heads up I added a new feature SemiScratchpad that allows for normal windows to be temporarily pulled into view like a scratchpad, but when they are toggled away they go back to where they were before rather than simply vanishing like normal scratchpads do.
  • What is duskwm ?
    1 project | /r/duskwm | 3 Nov 2021
    Dusk is a Tiling Window Manager created by u/bakkeby He also made dwm-flexipatch where you can manage most of dwm's tags. Later he created dusk, a twm with lots of dwm functions in it but without the need to ever patch it again. Dusk is very flexible and well documented. Also Dusk is actively maintained and rock solid. You can find all about dusk here: https://github.com/bakkeby/dusk Good starting point is the Wiki! Have fun with this great windowmanager!
  • multiple status segments with barmodules patch

    I tried stealing borrowing some stuff from bakkeby's dusk, which does something similar, but I cant seem to get it to work.
