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.

change default bar to just center date & time
To update the status you can use a shell script see the suckless site. or use an external program such as dwmblocks.

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.

Help compiling a package with a compiler flag from an official Debian source
The other option is to just download the static version https://github.com/jarun/nnn/releases/download/v4.9/nnn-nerd-static-4.9.x86_64.tar.gz and overwrite the Debian executable at /usr/bin/nnn, but this seems a bit hacky, agreed?

How do I change default image and video interpreter program through environment variables for nnn file manager ? (Asking herre bc r/linuxquestions doesnt allow posts)
You can get the 'default' nuke plugin script from https://github.com/jarun/nnn/blob/master/plugins/nuke and customize it if you need to. You define files by extension or mime type and set default and fallback apps to be opened with.

Can't figure out how to change icon theme in nnn
The icon-theme seems to be driven by your terminal font as detailed in `src/icons-in-terminal.h & icons.h, and the choice of "terminal-icon vs nerd-fonts vs emoji" appear to be hard-wired at compile-time rather than at run-time.
