DWM (Archlinux) - March Screenshot
Edit: Sept 6 2015 - Check out my latest screenshot here.
DWM has been my WM of choice due to its simplicity, written in C, and a good knowledgable group of enthusiast at the Arch Forums. Through my learning of DWM, an attempt at screenshotting each month will be made to journal my progress.
Below is my clean desktop. I went with a blue grey color scheme which would be easy on the eyes and easy to find the information at a glance.
Below is my workspace. I have part of my config.h displaying, rtorrent, weechat, and ranger.
Hrm, on another thought, I’ll have to add in my script and config even if you can find it on github.com/frank604 so that I can ‘freeze’ the settings here on my blog.
Edit: NEW SCREENSHOTS!! March 10 2014 update!!
So the strangest thing happened. Last night I couldn’t sleep so I found a different patchset that was close to what I wanted and then patched in cycle and push. Now this change makes my DWM complete. However, I did have to rewrite my config.h and I also took some time out to touch up my statusbar.
The new patchset is in my github. This is based off of Kieran Quinn’s dwm. I modified JasonWRyan’s copy of Push and Cycle patches from his bitbucket to work with Kieran’s patchset
