  • eww bar with dwm

    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.

    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.
