* Fully modular! If you don't want to use a function, no worries.* Lightweight! dwm-bar is written entirely in POSIX-compliant shell script so need to install a hundred different packages to get it working.* Options! You can decide to use either unicode symbols or plaintext for module identifiers with the ```IDENTIFIER``` value.## Current Functions

1. 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```## 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 functions/ subdirectory and included in dwm_bar.shIf you want to make your own function, for example dwm_myfunction.sh, you should create it in the functions/ subdirectory before including it in dwm_bar.sh and adding it to the xsetroot command:```# Import the modules
. "$DIR/bar-functions/dwm_myfucntion"
while truedo    xsetroot -name "$(dwm_myfunction)"    sleep 1done```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]```## Acknowledgements
