Greek letters in dwm status bar? How?

Is there a change in config.h that I could do to show Greek letters normally?
Thank you

Sorry..
The problem exists when I open a Greek web page in a browser. In dwm status bar the Greek characters of the title of the web page are not displayd correctly.
Here is my config.h:

  • Dstatus - dwm status bar

    Hey guys,
    for quite some time I've been working on dstatus for my own desktop. To share and improve dstatus I'd like to introduce it to the ArchLinux community now. dstatus is a small but expandable status application designed for use with dwm. While it certainly doesn't fit the suckless approach due to its use of plugins it now works rather nice.
    Features:
    - dstatus features a plugin system. This makes it easy to add new plugins that add information not accessible right now.
    - dstatus features groups. Groups bind together parts of your status line. If a dynamic part of that group becomes undisplayable (muted volume for example) the whole group will be hidden.
    - dstatus' format can be configured via config.h. It's syntax is described in the project's README.
    - dstatus' plugins can be configured via config.mk. It enables to exclude certain plugins from compilation and installation
    Currently there aren't many plugins, just some basic stuff for time, volume, mpd and battery. I'd be happy to accept contributions for new plugins.
    If you're interested compile and try this small application and provide some feedback. The project can be found at Bitbucket.
    Here's a link to the dstatus AUR package.
    Regards,
    Patrick

    No. Bash can show colours because it can parse and interpret the escape sequences. Dwm code lacks of that feature and for this reason you have to apply a patch.
    Thanks, that's what I was asking. If xsetroot -name can accept bash sequences then wouldn't it be simple just to use this to show color. @jasonwryan is right, I do need to read up more on dwm. Since I am in China it is problematic to search for things on the web even with a vpn and the suckless website is sparse on infomation.
    Seems that this would be the easiest way to add color to the status bar but maybe "xsetroot -name" doesn't output in color even though it does have "-fg -bg" switches.

  • DWM status bar

    Why doesn't this show color status in the dwm bar?
    red="echo -e \033[34;41mColor Text\033[0m"
    xsetroot -name $red
    Is my code wrong? or is DWM or Xsetroot removing the color?

  • TS4009 set up my new iPhone 5S 6 hours ago - when go to Music it says "Loading iTunes Match-" now status bar - how long does it take?  how can I see the progress or status of the Load?  I don't know if it is actually doing anything

    How can I find the status of loading iTunes match?  I set up my iPhone 5S over 6 hours ago and still no music.  No status bar - I don't know if anything is even downloading

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It shouldn't take anywhere near that, I'd try again, make sure you have a good connection.

  • A second non-functional progress bar is always visible on the status bar, how can I get rid of it?

    The second bar is inside of the sizing grip on the right side of the status bar. It does nothing, but take up space. The functional progress bar appears only when it is working inside of the message panel and outside of the authentication panel on the left side of the status bar. I've turned the status bar off and then on again--no luck. I've also tried disabling all add-ons--no luck. I've also changed themes--no luck. Do I need to re-install the browser?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    If you have many extensions then you can first enable half of the extensions to test which half has the problem.
    Continue to divide the bad half that still has the issue until you find which one is causing it.

  • [SOLVED] Problem with adding package update count to dwm's status bar

    Following http://www.andreascarpino.it/blog/posts … s-part-ii/, I added:

    Along with

    # ~/bin/tempdb

    The problems is with being able to export the variable updb, because exporting only exports to subshells. I also have my ~/bin/dwmstatus script:
    #!/bin/bash
    sep=" | "
    volsep="VOL"
    datesep="DATE"
    timesep="TIME"
    vol=$(amixer get Master | tail -1 | sed 's/.*\[\([0-9]*%\)\].*/\1/')
    volstat=$(amixer get Master | tail -n 1 | cut -d' ' -f 8-)

    then

    fi
    out="${updb} ${sep} ${volsep} ${vol} ${sep} ${datesep} ${sdate} ${sep} ${timesep} ${stime}"
    xsetroot -name "${out}"
    I only want the checking of updates to occur every few minutes (for now I tried 10), and just using the exported variable that contains the whole
    "UPDB: pacman:3, aur:1",..
    I'm not exactly sure how to fix my hacked-together scripts. When I simply run the tempdb script, it doesn't do much exept for updating to the fake database, but being able to use the updb variable has not worked yet. I also tried sourcing the script, but that just quits urxvt when running in dwm, and it logs me out when sourcing from plain X.
    I guess my main question is: what is the best way to show updates from the dwm status bar, or how can I fix what I am trying to do now?

    Okay, I see it. But your ups() function checks /tmp/aurupdates; how do you check for AUR updates? I looked at your repos, and saw
    pac()
    pup="$(pacman -Qqu --dbpath /tmp/checkup-db-jason/ | wc -l)"
    if [ $pup == 0 ]; then
    echo "0"
    else

    This is what you use along with keenerd's checkupdates, right?

  • Dstatus: Yet another status bar for dwm

    I decided to fix up my custom dwm status bar that I've hacked on for awhile into something a bit more presentable. Therefore, I give you dstatus!
    So what makes this different from the rest? For starters, it's somewhat laptop specific. Things like battery, backlight, and possibly SSID aren't of much use to a desktop. However, these bits can be turned off at compile time if you don't want them. In fact, all the elements can be toggled and rearranged however you like it.
    In addition, the main loop polls as little as necessary; just time, cpu usage, and battery are polled. Other elements are updated by threads listening to events.
    Configuration:
    config.mk defines which elements will be compiled into the binary. Turn any of them off by commenting out the appropriate line.
    config.h defines the look of everything. Elements can be formatted (in a limited fashion) according to printf. Some elements can display either a percentage or a bar.
    I've also provided an AUR package.
    The source is UNLICENSED so feel free to hack away. :-)

    Thanks @jasonwryan, I just don't know where to post it

  • Status Bar (top right) in 10.6X - how do control sequence of ICONS?

    hi:
    10.6x
    top right bar (i think its called status bar)  -- how do i control the sequence?  
    they appear to opening in different order
    can i change the word "charged" to a visual queue to indicate CHARGED versus take up so much space with word "charged?
    why a problem?
    i have so many on the bar, the last ones opened are getting hidden, when i have an app that has lots of menu bar item?
    thankyou in advance

    Cmd-drag them to the order you want. This will definitely work for Apple icons such as iMessages, Bluetooth, etc - may not work consistently for the third-party icons.
    If you don't need an icon (eg, Bluetooth), just cmd-drag it off the menubar. For third-party apps, you'll need to check their preferences to see if there's a way to disable the icon.

  • How do I turn off and on the icon size slider bar at the lower right status bar of a folder window.

    I have been trying for days to help a friend with a new iMac to turn on the icon size slider bar that on my iMac appears at the bottom of ever folder when it is open when in the "view" > "icon" mode.  I cannot find anything that discusses this slider bar.  I can turn this status bar off and on on both my machine and my friends machine, but I cannot turn off or on the slider on either machine. 

    This did not help.  I am a Mac User since 1984 and generally I am never stymied buy the Mac OS, but this one has me.   I can open and close the lower status bar, as you described, and that works fine for me because I have the icon slider bar already there and it works fine; however when I open the lower status bar on my friends machine there is no icon size slider bar, and I can't seem to find out how to get it there, as it is on my machine or at all. The icon size can be controlled from the View menu, but as a photographer, it is really handy to have it at the bottom of the folder window.  Thanks for trying. 

  • How can I create a status bar at the bottom of a window ?

    I would like to create a status bar at the bottom of my main window similiar to "Internet explorer" has. I thought of using a tool bar but I can't see how to keep it positioned at the bottom of the window when the window is resizable. Any other ideas on how to do this the bar only needs to contain a small amout of text and maybe an icon or two.

    CVI doesn't have a status bar control on UI element like the one available in Visual Studio++. The best way to replicate this is most like through a string control that is resized and positioned to remain at the bottom of the window and colored to look appropriately. I have also seen the combination of a decoration and a text message used.

  • How do I enable some scripts to run in some programs/websites and what happened to the status bar of my Mozilla Firefox 4?

    Well, first of all, I was tying to create a web-based computer game in Notepad in H.T.M.L., C++, and JavaScript codes. But when I tried to open the completed product, Firefox only came up with a blank page. What do I do with this? And also, I unwittingly removed the "Status Bar" on the bottom side of my browser(the one that always says "Transferring data from/to..."), and when I tried to bring it back up, I couldn't because I don't know how, since I'm new to Mozilla Firefox 4. If you could help me with these problems, Then I would greatly appreciate it.

    You can install the Status-4-Evar extension to regain some functionality from previous Firefox versions that was lost with the removal of the Status bar.
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" after you have installed the Status-4-Evar extension and drag the items (Status Text, Progress Meter, Download Status) upon the Add-ons Bar (View > Toolbars > [X] Add-on Bar)<br />
    Also check the Options of Status-4-Evar in Firefox (or Tools) > Add-ons
    * Status-4-Evar: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/235283/
