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 ### dwm_alsa Displays the current master volume of ALSA ``` [🔉 55%] ``` Dependencies: ```alsa-utils``` ### dwm_pulse Displays the current master volume of PulseAudio ``` [🔉 55%] ``` Dependencies: ```pamixer``` ### dwm_battery Displays battery level and status ``` [🔋 100 full] ``` ### dwm_countdown Displays the status of [countdown](https://github.com/joestandring/countdown) ``` [⏳ 00:10:00] ``` Dependencies: ```countdown.sh``` ### dwm_keyboard Displays the current keyboard layout ``` [⌨ gb] ``` Dependencies: ```xorg-setxkbmap``` ### dwm_resources Displays information regarding memory, CPU temperature, and storage ``` [🖥 MEM 1.3Gi/15Gi CPU 45C STO 2.3G/200G: 2%] ``` ### dwm_cmus displays current cmus status, artist, track, position, duration, and shuffle ``` [▶ The Unicorns - Tuff Ghost 0:43/2:56 🔀] ``` Dependencies: ```cmus``` ### dwm_date Displays the current date and time ``` [🕰 Mon 06-05-19 21:31:58] ``` ### dwm_mail Displays the current number of emails in an inbox ``` [📫 2] ``` ### dwm_weather Displays the current weather provided by [wttr.in](https://wttr.in) ``` [☀ +20°C] ``` ### dwm_network Displays the current network connection, private IP, and public IP ``` [🌐 enp7s0: 192.168.0.1/24 | 185.199.109.153] ``` Dependencies: ```NetworkManager, curl``` ### dwm_vpn Displays the current VPN connection ``` [🔒 Sweden - Stockholm] ``` Dependencies: ```NetworkManager-openvpn``` ### dwm_ccurse Shows the next appointment from calcurse ``` [💡 18/04/19 19:00 20:00 Upload dwm_ccurse] ``` Dependencies: ```calcurse``` ## Installation 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.sh If 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 . "$DIR/functions/dwm_myfucntion" while true do xsetroot -name "$(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: ``` [MAI 0] ``` ## 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/) ## More to come! * dwm_bluez function to show currently connected Bluetooth device using bluez
