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 for status.

If you want dwl-bar to control dwl (via mouse usage primarily) you may want to apply the patches/dwl-bar-ipc-1.0.diff patch. However do note that you will also need to apply the bar-ipc patch for dwl.

For more information about patching see the hacking article from suckless.

Thanks

Thanks to raphi for 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/.
