Binette's build of dwm

Dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager. This is my build of dwm with only a few patches, feel free to visit the suckless website and add the patches you want (rename the config.h to config.def.h before applying a patch).

Patches list

• alwayscenter (floating client will always be in the middle of the screen)
• attachbelow (open new client below the focused one)
• bar-height-spacing (adjust bar's height)
• colorfultags (add different colors to every tags)
• cursorwarp (cursor will be on the focus client)
• fixborders (make client's border opaque with compositor)
• fullgaps (add gaps)
• fullscreen-compilation (i added a line to fix fakefullscreen issues with chromium based browser. Thanks to bakkeby)
• movestack (move client in the stack)
• noborder (no border and no gaps when there's only one client)

• pertag (keep the layout per tag instead of per monitor)

• scratchpads (spawn and hide a floating terminal window)
• status2d (add colors to status bar)
• statusallmons (status bar on all monitor)
• underlinetags (add line under tags when selected)

Dependencies

• st
• dmenu
• slstatus (status bar)
• awesome & material icons font or change the tags icon in the config.h file at line 55:

/* tagging */
static const char *tags[] = { "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9" };

Installation

Clone this repo git clone https://github.com/Binetto/dwm.git, edit the config.h file and run doas/sudo make install. Everytime you edit the config file, you need to recompile doas/sudo make clean install.

On Nixos with flake enabled, add this to your configuration file:

# flake.nix
inputs = {
  dwm = { url = "github:binettexyz/dwm"; flake = false; };
};

# configuration.nix
{ inputs, ... }:
let
  dwm = pkgs.callPackage (inputs.dwm + "/default.nix") {};
in {
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    dwm
  ];
}
