# dwm - dynamic window manager 

dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.

## Requirements

In order to build this fork of dwm, you need:

- libX11-devel

- libXft-devel

- curl

- xsetroot

- numlockx

- setxkbmap

- alsa-utils

- xkblayout-state

- ImageMagick

Tip: if you want to use __pkexec__, you should first install `elogind` and start/enable it's service:

`sudo ln -s /etc/sv/elogind /var/service/`

After that install `xfce-polkit` and put this line into autostart.sh:

`/usr/libexec/xfce-polkit &`

## Patches

- [autostart](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/autostart/)

- [hide_vacant_tags](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/hide_vacant_tags/)

### Status bar

I used this repo with some little changes:

https://github.com/joestandring/dwm-bar

## Configuration and Installation

Create a custom __config.h__ file and edit it to match your local setup (dwm is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if necessary as root):

`make clean install`

## Running dwm

Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using __startx__:

`exec dwm`

In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:

`DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm`

(This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)

In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something

like this in your .xinitrc:

```

while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"

do

	sleep 1

done &

exec dwm

```

## Configuration

The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h

and (re)compiling the source code.

## TODO

- [x] Alsa not wokring

- [x] Change default layout to monocle
