colored statusbar in dwm w/ statuscolor
I just patched statuscolors to my dwm build with the aim of bringing colors to my statusbar (I use dwmblocks). I want to achieve something aesthetically similar to bumblebee-status, with each statusbar block appearing in a different color. As explained in the patch documentation, I defined an array of colors in my dwm config, something like this:
- Best way to make slstatus responsive to volume changes?
- DWM minimal status bar
-
slstatus dots
I use this https://github.com/torrinfail/dwmblocks, this will take care of slstatus stuff for you.

Help with clickable blocks[DWMBLOCKS]
As of now, I have the official vanilla dwm, with just the statuscmd patch, AND vanilla dwmblocks from torrinfail, also with the statuscmd patch made for it. I'm having trouble understanding how to configure clickable modules.

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.

How to make alias for compiling c code ?
I have this script, which checks if last edited file is a C file or not. If it's a C file, then script will compile and run it. Alternatively if an argument is passed, script will compile that file and run it.

How to create a keybind to suspend computer
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.
