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.

clickable blocks
At the moment in trying to patch the torrinfail version.

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.

Helping a newbie
For different system monitors, there are also different approaches. I just use `slstatus` (https://github.com/drkhsh/slstatus). I've heard a lot of good stuff about Eww (https://github.com/elkowar/eww) but never tried it myself.
What are some alternatives?
dwmblocks-async - An efficient, lean, and asynchronous status feed generator for dwm.
dwm-flexipatch - A dwm build with preprocessor directives to decide which patches to include during build time
scripts - *Well documented* scripts exploiting some useful UNIX utilities.
my_dwm_setup - DWM (Dynamic Window Manager) setup, that works best for me. The following suckless patches included: systray, griidmode, pertag. Additional functions implemented: findwin ([MOD+'] find a window by title using dmenu), run_app ([MOD+p] execute an application from a .desktop files cache), findcurwin ([MOD+Shift+f] find the first tag, containing the currently focused window and switch to it; useful when using grid setup on tag 0 as overview to jump back to a selected window), nexttag ([MOD+,], [MOD+.] switching to next/previous tag/tagset).
