dwmblocks VS spaceduck

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.

Yeah, this is a recent discovery: https://github.com/pineapplegiant/spaceduck

Still working on mine haven’t touched it in awhile but spaceduck 🚀🦆

Toast is both my favorite light and dark theme, and it really deserves more appreciation. If that isn't enough contrast, then Spaceduck may be more your taste.
