## Summary

„gods“ stands for „Go dwm status“. It displays time, sysload, memory

consumption, battery level and network transfer speeds.

## Dependencies

Only a working Go environment and the xsetroot binary is needed. Per default you

should use the [Material Design

Webfont](https://github.com/Templarian/MaterialDesign-Webfont) (I'm using the

version from Debian `testing`) within dwm, so you have the nice little icons.

Otherwise you need to exchange some characters in the source (see gods.go

header). For dwm the [statuscolor

patch](http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/statuscolors) is recommended.

## Usage

To install, run

	go get github.com/schachmat/gods

Then add the following line to your `.xinitrc` or whereever you start dwm, but

before actually starting dwm:

	$GOPATH/bin/gods &

## Configuration

The Gods status bar can be easily modified, just by patching the source. You can

add new informational panels, remove others, change the ordering or formating.

With a custom font you can use own icons and separators and through the

statuscolors patch config in dwm you can change the colors.

## Contributing

This repository is meant as an example of how to draw your dwm status bar with

go, as I use it. No additional features will be merged from pull-requests, but

you can tell me about your fork and changes and then I can link them here as

further examples for other people to look at.

- [phacops forked](https://github.com/phacops/gods) gods to not use a custom

  font, but rather replace the icons with plain text.
