You'll find all patches I use in the diff folder.
It manages the colors and the variables with .Xresources file, within the class dwm.
Colors can be reloaded on the fly by pressing Mod+F5.
You will also notice in the config.h file that there aren't to much keyboard shortcuts
to setup the computer, as I use flybinds (in my repo) to configure it. In DWM when I
press the ¡ key it opens the flybinds program. This it works thanks to fsignals patch,
as I can call dwm functions from shell scripts.
dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if necessary as root):
make clean install
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
exec dwm
In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
(This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something like this in your .xinitrc:
while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
do
sleep 1
done &
exec dwm
The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code.
