# dwmstatus
## Description
A simple, customizable status bar for Dynamic Window Manager(dwm)
Exports status bar to X11 root window via xcb instead of xlib
Output:
```
/* charging */
<---> │ 0.94GHz │ 39°C │ [100%+] │ Vol: 50% │ 1:09 │ Thu 10/29 4:20
/* discharging */
<---> │ 0.94GHz │ 39°C │ [99%] │ Vol: 50% │ 1:69 │ Thu 10/29 4:20
/* AC power */
<---> │ 0.94GHz │ 39°C │ [0%] │ Vol: 50% │ 1:48 │ Thu 10/29 4:20
```
## Requirements
- c compiler
- [xcb-util](https://xcb.freedesktop.org/) [For exporting status bar to root X11 window]
- Kernel options:
- `CONFIG_SYSFS`: sysfs file system support [Where most information will be parsed from]
- `CONFIG_THERMAL_HWMON`: Expose thermal sensors as hwmon device [For getting cpu temps]
## Installation
Installation using **make**:
```
$ cd dwmstatus/src
$ make
# make install
```
Alternatively, you can install using **meson**:
```
$ cd dwmstatus
$ meson build
$ ninja -C build
# ninja -C build install
```
## Running
```
$ dwmstatus_std # for outputting to stdout
$ dwmstatus_xcb # for outputting to X11 root window
```
## Configuration
All configurations are done through `config.def.h`/`config.h`
to keep the program simple and fast(?).
Note: some functions may be commented from my usages.
Uncomment to use them.
## Features
- Displays date, uptime, battery percentage
- Displays a single cpu's frequency and temperature
- Displays network connections
- only if connected to access point, not internet access
