dwmblocks VS dunst

Status bar : dwmblocks

dwmblocks: a clickable dwm statusbar written in c. would require some scripting and learning on your part. prob the only way you can get axactly what you are asking for outside of the look while remaining "suckless"

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:

I use this https://github.com/torrinfail/dwmblocks, this will take care of slstatus stuff for you.

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.

At the moment in trying to patch the torrinfail version.

To update the status you can use a shell script see the suckless site. or use an external program such as dwmblocks.

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.

https://github.com/dunst-project/dunst is a pretty popular notification daemon that comes to mind.

Notification : dunst

Your notifications are not provided by Plasma, but by dunst. Either you installed dunst yourself or something else you installed is dependent on dunst.

Are you running something able to act on notification requests from programs, e.g. dunst (which is what i use)?

Here's the documentation to create an asynchronous monitor with pyudev. When a device is plugged in, use subprocess to run notify-send and send a notification through dunst with the proper parameters (search "do_action" in the dunst docs), so for example you can bind your left click to mount and your middle click to mount and open

The notification in your screenshot looks like dunst. Removing that notification server should bring back the default notifications by Cinnamon's own notification server (which, AFAIK, is built-in).

You can use dunst for notifications, minimal and lightweight. I use it for my volume and brightness control along with sxhkd. dunst Hope this helps.
