README
# chadwm (Initial look)
(empty workspaces have their color greyed out)
- NOTE: This is vanilla dwm bar (status2d patch for setting colors) not dwmblocks or polybar.
- The small widget on the top right is an eww widget and thats old! I've improved the eww widget.
(catppuccin theme)
(gruvbox material dark)
# Tag preview (while hovering tag icon)

# Requirements
- dash (shell)
- imlib2
- xsetroot package (status2d uses this to add colors on dwmbar)
- JetbrainsMono Nerd Font or any nerd font but dont forget to set it in config.def.h
- Make sure to setup your terminal's theme accordingly do chadwm's theme such as nord, onedark etc...
## Other requirements
- picom
- feh
- acpi
- rofi
# Install
```
git clone https://github.com/siduck/chadwm --depth 1 ~/.config/chadwm
cd ~/.config/chadwm/
mv eww ~/.config
cd chadwm
sudo make install
```
(Note: chmod +x all of the scripts)
# Run chadwm
## With startx
```shell
startx ~/.config/chadwm/scripts/run.sh
```
## With sx
```shell
sx sh ~/.config/chadwm/scripts/run.sh
```
(Make an alias for this :v)
```shell
alias chadwm='startx ~/.config/chadwm/scripts/run.sh'
```
## With Display Manager
- Create a desktop entry (make sure to change `user` with your user):
```shell
sudo touch /usr/share/xsessions/chadwm.desktop
```
```
[Desktop Entry]
Name=chadwm
Comment=dwm made beautiful

Type=Application
```

# Recompile
- You need to recompile dwm after every change you make to its source code.
```
cd ~/.config/chadwm/chadwm
rm config.h
sudo make install
```
# Change themes
- Bar : in bar.sh (line 9) and config.def.h (line 35)
- eww : in eww.scss (line 1)
- rofi : in config.rasi (line 15)
# Eww
- First, make sure you have copied the eww directory to your config:
```
cp -r ~/.config/chadwm/eww ~/.config/
```
- To launch the eww widget, you need the following command:
```
eww open eww
```
(Note: I use only alsa on my system so audio scripts on widget are alsa related, modify them to support pulseaudio)
- It could be a good idea to add these lines to your autostart file, located at ~/.config/chadwm/scripts/run.sh
