I am now using KDE under wayland. This project is no more under maintain.

My attempt to make DWM focus on the "WM".

• Lightweight and portable

• Trasnparent systray

• Rounded corner window (You can now have both shadow and corner)

• Lot's of useful scripts

  • Song control
  • Power control

• No annoying title

• Hide tag when no windows use them

  

• Full nerd font icon

• Out of the box

• Status text support colors (see siduck76/chadwm for color example)

• Hide and restore windows feature (You can use it like a scratchpad)

• Tab support

• build

Changed the home path in Makefile and config.def.h. Then run command to built it:

# Change my username to your name 
sed -i 's/sh1marin/YOURNAME/g' src/config.def.h src/Makefile

# Build 
sudo make clean install

# Copy script
cp scripts/* ~/.local/share/dwm

• Scripts

I've write some script to automatically run when dwm start up, checkout the $HOME/.local/share/dwm directory.

• Dwm bar

There are two versions of the dwm bar, one by shell script and another by Rust. You can run command cd dwm-bar && cargo install --path . to build the dwm-bar program. It will place the executable under ~/.cargo/bin. And you just need to update the bar executable in autostart.sh.

Modified file config.def.h

Fallback fonts: UbuntuMono Nerd Font Mono

Also you may want feh to change background, and picom to add blur transparency.

control script is based on pamixer. So you need to install pulseaudio and pamixer.

Original dwm: https://dwm.suckless.org

The hide and restore windows is copy from theniceboy/hide-and-restore and awesomebar

The tab in monocle layout is copy from siduck76/chadwm.

Currently, the tab color will be drawn to the status bar when you switch to mococle layout. Track the issue in #4.

Systray shadow can be disabled by WM_CLASS: "dwmsystray" filter. For example if you are using picom as compositor, add below into your picom.conf file:

shadow-exclude = [
  "class_g = 'dwmsystray'",
];
