Clone and enter the repository: ``` $ git clone https://github.com/joestandring/dwm-bar $ cd dwm-bar ``` 2. Make the script executable ``` $ chmod +x dwm_bar.sh ``` ## Reccomendations To make the most out of unicode support, consider using a font that inludes many unicode charachters. For example: * [Nerd Fonts](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts) * [Siji](https://github.com/stark/siji) While not always neccessary, it's a good idea to specify these fonts in your dwm config. ## Quick Start Simply run the script and dwm should display your bar: ``` $ ./dwm_bar.sh ``` Most likely, you will need to change some values for functions to get them to work - these are outlined with a comment for functions where this is likely the case. If you would like your bar to be displayed when X starts, add this to your .xinitrc file before launching dwm. For example, if the script is located in /home/$USER/dwm-bar/: ``` # Statusbar /home/$USER/dwm-bar/dwm_status.sh & # Start dwm exec dwm ``` ## Customizing dwm-bar is completley modular, meaning you can mix and match functions to your hearts content. It's functions are located in the bar-functions/ subdirectory and included in dwm_bar.sh If you want to make your own function, for example dwm_myfunction.sh, you should create it in the bar-functions/ subdirectory before including it in dwm_bar.sh and adding it to the xsetroot command: ``` # Import the modules . "$DIR/bar-functions/dwm_myfucntion" while true do xsetroot -name "$(dwm_myfunction)" sleep 1 done ``` You can also decide to use unicode or plaintext identifiers for functions by altering the ```$IDENTIFIER``` value. For example, set to ```"unicode"```, ```dwm_mail``` will display: ``` [📫 0] ``` Whereas, if it is not set it will display: ``` [MAIL 0] ``` ## Contributing See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) before contributing. ## Acknowledgements Code for some functions was modified from: * [Klemens Nanni](https://notabug.org/kl3) * [@boylemic](https://github.com/boylemic/configs/blob/master/dwm_status) * [Parket Johnson](https://github.com/ronno/scripts/blob/master/xsetcmus) * [suckless.org](https://dwm.suckless.org/status_monitor/) * [@mcallistertyler95](https://github.com/mcallistertyler95/dwm-bar)
