# dwl-bar
|
|
dwm-like bar for dwl
|
|
|
|
I believe dwl-bar provides a more dwm-like experience out of the box than other bars like somebar.
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
I'm not sure what the package names will be for your distrobution, so just make sure these are generally what you have.
|
|
+ make
|
|
+ pango
|
|
+ cairo
|
|
+ wayland
|
|
+ wayland-protocols
|
|
|
|
## Compile
|
|
Compile with `make`, install with `make install`, uninstall `make uninstall`.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
Like most suckless-like software, configuration is done through `src/config.def.h` modify it to your heart's content. dwl-bar is compatible with [someblocks](https://sr.ht/~raphi/someblocks/) for status.
|
|
|
|
If you want dwl-bar to control dwl (via mouse usage primarily) you may want to apply the [ipc](https://github.com/MadcowOG/dwl-bar/compare/ipc.patch) patch.
|
|
**However do note that you will also need to apply the [bar-ipc](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/wiki/bar-ipc) patch for dwl.**
|
|
|
|
For more information about patching see the [hacking](https://suckless.org/hacking/) article from suckless.

## Thanks
|
|
Thanks to [raphi](https://sr.ht/~raphi/) for [somebar](https://sr.ht/~raphi/somebar/) this project is largely just somebar but in C and a few tweaks to make it similar to dwm. The ipc protocol is also just the ipc patch in [somebar's `contrib/`](https://git.sr.ht/~raphi/somebar/tree/master/item/contrib/ipc.patch).
