[SOLVED] DWM colorful taskbar howto?

Dwm users! Can somebody tip me on how to make my dwm taskbar xsetroot output colorful? Has anybody tried to do it?
My current config is:
xset -b
xset m 5 5
xrdb -load .Xdefaults
setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll us,ru
nitrogen --set-scaled /home/pshkadko/pictures/Wallpaper/todd_s_nebula_by_casperium.jpg
while true
do
xsetroot -name "`cat /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal | awk '{print "cpu cores: "$3":"$4}' ` `df -h / | awk 'END {print "| root use: " $5}' | sed 's/Use%//'` `df -h /home| awk 'END {print " home use: " $5}' | sed 's/Use%//'` `date | awk 'END {print "| " $1" "$2" "$3" "}'` `uptime | awk 'BEGIN {FS = ":"}; END {print"|"$1":"$2}'`"
sleep 20
done

  • [SOLVED] dwm manager taskbar font howto

    I'm trying to make my default dwm taskbar font bigger. After I installed dwm the default taskbar font looks small for me. How can I make it bigger?
    I tried editing config.h file and edited default font to:
    static const char font[]            = "*-*-fixed-medium-r-normal--*-110-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1";
    just the way it was set in my other distro.
    But still no result, same small font.
    Does anybody have a good font in mind, that will look good, like the one from terminus pack. I don't know the names of good fonts and googling doesn't give any good alternatives.
    Maybe somebody has already have something in mind?
    1. why does my dwm font do not change, even when I edit config.h, compile and install (makepkg -efi)?
    2. could you provide any good font alternatives?
    ps. also this default dwm font does not understand cyrillic or any other language, so when I try "Mod+p" in ru layout it screws my typing.

    no, that doesn't work.
    ls Public/dwmls Public/dwm_sync/dwm/_sync/dwm/
    config.h                       dwm-5.8.2.tar.gz  dwm.install  PKGBUILD
    dwm-5.8.2-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz  dwm.desktop       pkg          src
    1. What I did is, edited config.h line to:
    static const char font[]            = "-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-17-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*";
    2.makepkg -efi
    3.reboot
    Result: nothing changed in taskbar
    ps. didn't find any of your fonts, I've installed lots of fonts via pacman.

  • [SOLVED]dwm-sprinkles: can't right click

    Just installed dwm-sprinkles (compiled from source grabbed using svn because there's nothing in AUR or ABS for it), and I can no longer right click in firefox or use the drop-down menus.  Drop downs on websites work fine, but I can't use anything in the firefox toolbar.  ie, File, Edit, address bar history, ABP menu, etc.  These things all work fine in gftp and goggles, which are the only other gui apps that I really use.
    It worked fine in vanilla dwm, which I built from the package in AUR.  Switched to dwm sprinkles because patching was a pain in the ass and sprinkles already has pretty much everything I need.  I'm guessing there is something in config.h that is causing this but I haven't changed anything except colors and terminal command. 
    Sorry if this has been posted/solved before, but there's just not much in-depth documentation on DWM out there (which is why I switched to a pre-patched version of it in the first place).

    ok, it works now after a reboot.  No idea. 

  • [SOLVED] urxvt colors and moc theme

    Hello!
    I am a KDE user and usually i am using Konsole. For some applications (like htop and moc) i use urxvt (patched version from AUR). The problem is in colors.

    Moc config file:
    # This is a configuration file for the MOC player. It should be named
    # 'config' and placed in the ~/.moc directory. As this file can specify
    # commands which invoke other applications, MOC will refuse to start if it
    # is not owned by either root or the current user, or if it is writable by
    # anyone other than its owner. All options are given with their default
    # values, and therefore commented.
    # Comments begin with '#'.
    # You can use quotes and escape ('\') in parameters.
    # You can have variable values substituted by enclosing the variable name
    # as "${...}". (This only applies to the portion of the option following
    # the ' ='.) Variables are substituted first from the environment then,
    # if not found, from the configuration options. (Note that the value of
    # a configuration option substituted is that which it has at the time the
    # substitution variable is encountered.) If there is a naming conflict
    # between an environment and configuration variable, you may be able to
    # resolve it by using lowercase as the environment variable matches are
    # case-sensitive whereas the configuration variables are not.
    # You can also use the form "${...:-...}" where the value in the second
    # position will be substituted if the variable name given in the first
    # position is unset or null.
    # So, for example:
    # MusicDir = /music/${USER:-public}
    # Fastdir1 = ${MusicDir}/mp3/rock
    # Fastdir2 = ${MusicDir}/mp3/electronic
    # Fastdir3 = ${MusicDir}/mp3/rap
    # Fastdir4 = ${MusicDir}/mp3/etc
    # Variable names are limited to those accepted by the BASH shell; that
    # is, those comprising the upper- and lowercase ASCII characters, digits
    # and the underscore.
    # If you need to use the "${" sequence for any other purpose, write "$${"
    # and it will be replaced by "${" and not treated as a substitution.
    # Some options take lists of strings as their values. The strings are
    # separated by colons. Additional strings can be appended to the list
    # using "+ =" in place of a plain "=" to assign the value. For an example,
    # see the XTerms option.
    # You can override any configuration option when you run MOC using the
    # '-O' command line option:
    # mocp -O AutoNext =no -O messagelingertime=1 -O XTerms+=xxt:xwt
    # This command line option can be repeated as many times as needed and
    # the configuration option name is not case sensitive. (Note that MOC
    # does not perform variable substitution on the value of such overridden
    # configuration options.) Most option values are set before the
    # configuration file is processed (which allows the new values to be
    # picked up by substitutions), however list-valued options are overridden
    # afterwards (which gives the choice of whether the configured values are
    # replaced or added to).
    # Remember that the client and server are separate processes and the
    # server will retain the configuration values formed from the environment
    # within which it was originally started.

    # PreferredDecoders allows you to specify which decoder should be used
    # for any given audio format. It is a colon-separated list in which
    # each entry is of the general form 'code(decoders)', where 'code'
    # identifies the audio format and 'decoders' is a comma-separated list
    # of decoders in order of preference.
    # The audio format identifier may be either a filename extension or a
    # MIME media type. If the latter, the format is 'type/subtype' (e.g.,
    # 'audio/flac'). Because different systems may give different MIME
    # media types, any 'x-' prefix of the subtype is ignored both here and
    # in the actual file MIME type (so all combinations of 'audio/flac' and
    # 'audio/x-flac' match each other).
    # For Internet streams the matching is done on MIME media type and on
    # actual content. For files the matches are made on MIME media type
    # (if the 'UseMimeMagic' option is set) and on filename extension. The
    # MIME media type of a file is not determined until the first entry for
    # MIME is encountered in the list.
    # The matching is done in the order of appearance in the list with any
    # entries added from the command line being matched before those listed
    # here. Therefore, if you place all filename extension entries before
    # all MIME entries you will speed up MOC's processing of directories
    # (which could be significant for remote file systems).
    # The decoder list may be empty, in which case no decoders will be used
    # for files (and files with that audio format ignored) while Internet
    # streams will be assessed on the actual content. Any decoder position
    # may contain an asterisk, in which case any decoder not otherwise listed
    # which can handle the audio format will be used. It is not an error to
    # list the same decoder twice, but neither does it make sense to do so.
    # If you have a mix of audio and non-audio files in your directories, you
    # may wish to include entries at top of the list which ignore non-audio
    # files by extension.
    # In summary, the PreferredDecoders option provides fine control over the
    # type of matching which is performed (filename extension, MIME media
    # type and streamed media content) and which decoder(s) (if any) are used
    # based on the option's list entries and their ordering.
    # Examples: aac(aac,ffmpeg) first try FAAD2 for AACs then FFmpeg
    # mp3() ignore MP3 files
    # wav(*,sndfile) use sndfile for WAV as a last resort
    # ogg(vorbis,*):flac(flac,*) try Xiph decoders first
    # ogg():audio/ogg() ignore OGG files, and
    # force Internet selection by content
    # gz():html() ignore some non-audio files
    # Any unspecified audio formats default to trying all decoders.
    # Any unknown (or misspelt) drivers are ignored.
    # All names are case insensitive.
    # The default setting reflects the historical situation modified by
    # the experience of users.
    #PreferredDecoders = aac(aac,ffmpeg):m4a(ffmpeg)
    #PreferredDecoders += mpc(musepack,*,ffmpeg):mpc8(musepack,*,ffmpeg)
    #PreferredDecoders += sid(sidplay2):mus(sidplay2)
    #PreferredDecoders += wav(sndfile,*,ffmpeg)
    #PreferredDecoders += wv(wavpack,*,ffmpeg)
    #PreferredDecoders += audio/aac(aac):audio/aacp(aac):audio/m4a(ffmpeg)
    #PreferredDecoders += audio/wav(sndfile,*)
    # The following PreferredDecoders attempt to handle the ambiguity surrounding
    # container types such as OGG for files. The first two entries will force
    # a local file to the correct decoder (assuming the .ogg file contains Vorbis
    # audio), while the MIME media types will cause Internet audio streams to
    # be assessed on content (which may be either Vorbis or Speex).
    #PreferredDecoders += ogg(vorbis,ffmpeg):oga(vorbis,ffmpeg):ogv(ffmpeg)
    #PreferredDecoders += opus(opus,ffmpeg)

    # Which resampling method to use. There are a few methods of resampling
    # sound supported by libresamplerate. The default is 'Linear') which is
    # also the fastest. A better description can be found at:
    # http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsamplerate/api_misc.html#Converters
    # but briefly, the following methods are based on bandlimited interpolation
    # and are higher quality, but also slower:
    # SincBestQuality - really slow (I know you probably have an xx GHz
    # processor, but it's still not enough to not see
    # this in the top output :) The worst case
    # Signal-to-Noise Ratio is 97dB.
    # SincMediumQuality - much faster.
    # SincFastest - the fastest bandlimited interpolation.
    # And these are lower quality, but much faster methods:
    # ZeroOrderHold - really poor quality, but it's really fast.
    # Linear - a bit better and a bit slower.
    #ResampleMethod = Linear
    # Always use this sample rate (in Hz) when opening the audio device (and
    # resample the sound if necessary). When set to 0 the device is opened
    # with the file's rate.
    #ForceSampleRate = 0
    # By default, even if the sound card reports that it can output 24bit samples
    # MOC converts 24bit PCM to 16bit. Setting this option to 'yes' allows MOC
    # to use 24bit output. (The MP3 decoder, for example, uses this format.)
    # This is disabled by default because there were reports that it prevents
    # MP3 files from playing on some soundcards.
    #Allow24bitOutput = no
    # Use realtime priority for output buffer thread. This will prevent gaps
    # while playing even with heavy load. The user who runs MOC must have
    # permissions to set such a priority. This could be dangerous, because it
    # is possible that a bug in MOC will freeze your computer.
    #UseRealtimePriority = no
    # The number of audio files for which MOC will cache tags. When this limit
    # is reached, file tags are discarded on a least recently used basis (with
    # one second resolution). You can disable the cache by giving it a size of
    # zero. Note that if you decrease the cache size below the number of items
    # currently in the cache, the number will not decrease immediately (if at
    # all).
    #TagsCacheSize = 256
    # Number items in the playlist.
    #PlaylistNumbering = yes
    # Main window layouts can be configured. You can change the position and
    # size of the menus (directory and playlist). You have three layouts and
    # can switch between then using the 'l' key (standard mapping). By default,
    # only two layouts are configured.
    # The format is as follows:
    # - Each layout is described as a list of menu entries.
    # - Each menu entry is of the form:
    # menu(position_x, position_y, width, height)
    # where 'menu' is either 'directory' or 'playlist'.
    # - The parameters define position and size of the menu. They can
    # be absolute numbers (like 10) or a percentage of the screen size
    # (like 45%).
    # - 'width' and 'height' can have also value of 'FILL' which means
    # fill the screen from the menu's position to the border.
    # - Menus may overlap.
    # You must describe at least one menu (default is to fill the whole window).
    # There must be at least one layout (Layout1) defined; others can be empty.
    # Example: Layout1 = playlist(50%,50%,50%,50%)
    # Layout2 = ""
    # Layout3 = ""
    # Just one layout, the directory will occupy the whole
    # screen, the playlist will have 1/4 of the screen size
    # and be positioned at lower right corner. (Note that
    # because the playlist will be hidden by the directory
    # you will have to use the TAB key to make the playlist
    # visible.)
    # Example: Layout1 = playlist(0,0,100%,10):directory(0,10,100%,FILL)
    # The screen is split into two parts: playlist at the top
    # and the directory menu at the bottom. Playlist will
    # occupy 10 lines and the directory menu the rest.
    #Layout1 = directory(0,0,50%,100%):playlist(50%,0,FILL,100%)

    3d3d3d is for red but you have a blackish and color2 is for green but you have it white the rest should be the default colors. it uses the same colors only it changes the vairiant of the color you choice there or normally moc uses colors such as green blue and such which will call your console colors for those respective fields I know moc has /user/share/moc/themes/ that you can edit or make your own for instance copy one and edit it. I think htop uses the same color count which is 8 but with so green will be white when you use urxvt. 8 for normal colors 16 for bright dark and urxvt is 256 which is 16 but can use any of the 256 colors for 16.
    just to clarify you have commented out your colors 4-15 and your green and red is weird, and htop aswell as moc is 8 bit. moc theme_yellow_red is default for background so it will use urxvts background
    Haahaha, that is simple. And it works!!!
    I didn't bother with commenting that because i thought they are not applied. Anyway, thanks man. My urxvt terminal si grateful to you and your thorough explanation. SOLVED!

    I haven't applied any other patches. Any idea what I am doing wrong? I can go into dwm.c and see the lines the error is refering to but I am not sure what the problem is.
    Thanks

    I just got the latest one off of the repo at git.suckless.org/dwm. the page says 6.0 but my config.mk says version 6.1. I did try the 6.0 version but the patch had errors. I am a little confused. The other patches come back with errors too. I am using an unpatched version at the moment so I would think most patches should work.
    What should I do?

  • [SOLVED] DWM - how do you apply patches with patch?

    I'm totally new to dwm (it's working great by the way) and patching. I'm having problems understanding how to use the patch program. The basic usage on dwm site says basically:
    patch -p1 < path/to/patch.diff
    Great, now I have the patch file ~/builds/dwn/patch/dwm-5.9-statuscolors.diff and my altered ~/builds/dwn/config.h. Here's what I did
    herman@sam ~/builds/dwm $ patch -p1 <patch/dwm-5.9-statuscolors.diff
    can't find file to patch at input line 4
    Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
    The text leading up to this was:
    |diff -up dwm-5.9/config.def.h dwm-5.9-colors/config.def.h
    |--- dwm-5.9/config.def.h 2011-07-10 16:24:25.000000000 -0400
    |+++ dwm-5.9-colors/config.def.h 2011-08-18 02:02:47.033830823 -0400

    config.def.h: No such file or directory
    Skip this patch? [y]
    Skipping patch.
    2 out of 2 hunks ignored
    can't find file to patch at input line 41
    Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
    The text leading up to this was:
    |Only in dwm-5.9: config.h
    |Only in dwm-5.9: dwm
    |diff -up dwm-5.9/dwm.c dwm-5.9-colors/dwm.c

    dwm.c: No such file or directory
    Skip this patch? [y]
    Skipping patch.
    12 out of 12 hunks ignored
    and it asks me for the filename it didn't find at line 4. Looking at the patch, I see it's a diff on config.def.h so I suppose this is the file to be patched and that I should supply this filename and the same with dwm.c? I'm not new to C coding but fresh out when it comes to diffing and patching, how do I actually go forward from here?

    Ok thanks but I'm confused again (I know..). I managed to patch the files config.def.h and dwm.c in the source dir and noticed there is yet another config.h file there as well. Now, the in the top level dir with the PKGBUILD I also have a config.h, which is the one I do my config changes. I'm confused because I now have these three header files (2x config.h + config.def.h) which are supposed to have the same source code? I've read around on the net, but haven't gotten any further answers yet. What are the purpose of each config and how should I use/update/manage them when recompiling? This is my situation:

  • [SOLVED] dwm: cannot open mixer

    I've been setting up dwm through the last hours and I had an issue with sound playback. Firstly, I can play any sound from the console or any other wm. The problem appears when I start dwm by using xinit but loading it through gdm seems to solve the problem but still I'm not satisfied with that solution. I think that gdm do something in order to grant access to the sound card but on the other hand I still have another problem with multiple running applications that playback sound, only the first opened application can.
    After starting dwm with xinit I get "amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory" and by running alsamixer I get "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory".
    Thanks in advance
    Last edited by russo (2011-06-20 04:01:15)

    Well, I checked those posts.
    /dev/mixer exists
    I tried to load the snd-pcm-oss but nothing changed.
    However I noticed that I can run alsamixer as root. I'm not sure but maybe having to run gdm as root while running xinit as user made the difference but still it doesn't make sense since I can run openbox with xinit and everything works fine. I'll keep trying
    EDIT: Finally, I tried to load openbox through xinit and had the same problem. Next I tried to reboot removing gdm from the daemons and start dwm directly with the xinitrc options. Now it seems to work fine. Maybe gdm blocked the sound card once it opened.

    I thought that was what you were talking about. I never actually used that line before.. I added it then I changed my xsetroot setting and it clashed so i just commented it out.
    I just wrote a new pipe line and tested it. Same deal.
    Thanks for the advice man, I actually just copied the conkyrc from a user on here, i have also tested my personal conky scripts and they all (4) have the same issue but work fine on OpenBox. I'll go through and edit and play around with this and see if anything helps.
    I appreciate your time man, much abliged.

  • [SOLVED] dwm config

    [SOLVED]
    Hi,
    I am asking for help with my dwm config. What I want it to do is, instead of snapping directly to the edge of the screen, I want it to snap a certain distance away from it (and maybe other windows). Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Also, this is less relevant, but I want to include the system time in the title bar of dwm. Any help there?
    Last edited by latenitekid (2013-03-12 00:43:30)

    The time is included in the example status bar on the wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dw … _statusbar
    The snapping thing sounds like a variant of useless gaps...

  • [SOLVED] [dwm] Can't start dwm

    Hi!
    I've recently entered the world of tiling WM and started with dwm.
    Since I'm kinda insecure, and wanted to keep gnome as well, I've followed every single step in the wiki article and used the ~/.Xclients way, so I could start dwm from gdm (I've followed also the steps in the discussion page as well).
    Then, when I tried to startup dwm from gdm, it doesn't start, and goes back again to gdm.
    My ~/.Xclients file is the following:
    setxkbmap -layout pt
    #relogio
    while true; do
    xsetroot -name "$( date +"%F %R" )"
    sleep 1m # Update time every minute
    done &
    # #estado da bateria
    # while true; do
    # batt=$(LC_ALL=C acpi -b)
    # case $batt in
    # *Discharging*)
    # batt="${batt#* * * }"
    # batt="${batt%%, *} "
    # batt=""
    # esac
    # xsetroot -name "$batt$(date +%R)"
    # sleep 60
    # done &
    #conky bar
    conky | while read -r; do xsetroot -name "$REPLY"; done &
    #executar o dwm
    exec dwm
    It's all things copied from the wiki page, just for testing if everything was fine...
    My /usr/share/xsessions/dwm.desktop file is:
    [Desktop Entry]
    Encoding=UTF-8
    Name=Dwm
    Comment=Dynamic window manager
    Exec=/usr/local/bin/dwm
    Icon=dwm
    Type=XSession
    And I've created a /usr/share/xsessions/user.desktop file that looks like this:
    [Desktop Entry]
    Encoding=UTF-8
    Name=User XSession script
    Comment=Runs your ~./Xsession script
    Exec=/etc/X11/Xsession
    Type=Application
    Thanks in advance for any help, I've searched the forums and used google and couldn't find any answer to this problem :S

    haxit, thanks I've managed to solve the problem!
    I've installed SLiM and set up everything in .xinitrc.
    The dwm.desktop doesn't match with yours because I've changed somethings and because I didn't backup the file (I know, it's super dumb and stupid) I had to paste the defaults I found in the web.
    Thanks.
    Fellow gdm and dwm users, an advice, put everything in .xinitrc. It's easier.

  • [Solved] Dwm reconfigure after update.

    The problem is simple, after update to last version of Dwm i had to build and install it from scratch. I don't want to do that for any new version of Dwm. Is there a way to avoid that process?
    Cheers.

    I had this issue on my other machine (this one uses scrotwm). Trying to remember what I did to resolve it.
    There were no errors after makepkg -efi but the version kept reverting back to the previous one. I think it happened updating to that one, too. Anyway, I *think* what I did was to copy my config.h elsewhere, clear out the dir I used for building it, updated abs, copied the dwm-5.8.1 files in and rebuilt. Search for dwm-5.8.1 using grep to make sure you have the right files.
    There may be a step missing from that though.
    Exactly the same problem and the solution helps a lot. Indeed, this is the way i solved the issue. But the question is: exists any way to do automatically those steps? I know, i can make a shell script, but apart from that there is another?
