      1 My patches and config for dwm
      2 =============================
      3 Changes:
      4 --------
      5  - Building now has an extra step to apply the config for a given platform
      6  - Added vanitygaps
      7  - Keeping the config.h files
      8    - My configs are themed with Catppuccin, and assume that you're using 
      9      alacritty
     10    - Void linux assumes pulseaudio.
     11  - Installs to the local user's XDG directory $HOME/.local, rather than
     12    systemwide. There's nothing worse than having a mix of manually installed
     13    and system-package-manager installed packages.
     14 
     15 How to build:
     16 -------------
     17 First, prepare your platform. Currently supported are Void linux (void) and
     18 OpenBSD (OBSD). (The void config should work for most distros with pulseaudio).
     19 Example:
     20 	$ ./prepvoid.sh
     21 or
     22 	$ ./prepOBSD.sh
     23 
     24 Then you just make as usual:
     25 	$ make && make install
     26

     30 dwm - dynamic window manager
     31 ============================
     32 dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
     33 
     34 
     35 Requirements
     36 ------------
     37 In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
     38 
     39 
     40 Installation
     41 ------------
     42 Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
     43 the /usr/local namespace by default).
     44 
     45 Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
     46 necessary as root):
     47 
     48     make clean install
     49 
     50 
     51 Running dwm
     52 -----------
     53 Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
     54 
     55     exec dwm
     56 
     57 In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
     58 the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
     59 
     60     DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
     61 
     62 (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
     63 
     64 In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
     65 like this in your .xinitrc:
     66 
     67     while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
     68     do
     69     	sleep 1
     70     done &
     71     exec dwm
     72 
     73 
     74 Configuration
     75 -------------
     76 The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
     77 and (re)compiling the source code.
