Hay DT.... Well after using Spectrwm for 6 months or so I dragged out the test laptop and cloned you DWM and all the others and I an playing with it. I have it on EndeavourOS Cinnamon because I like the Cinnamon programs. :-)
I am now trying to understand how to insert my programs and so on. I have Dmenu launching to the bottom as it is better for my trifocals... Lol
I have only hosed it a few times on building but I am getting their. LOL
DWMBlocks was easy to figure out... :-D
Sorry DT, but I have to change the MOD key back to the ALT key as I don't own a Windows keyboard, old IBM clickers... HaHaHa.
That also means I am having to change some of the other bindings too. So I am setting them like I have in Spectrwm which is not that much different, just 3 keys... :-D
I have it 90% done for now, so I'm taking a break from it for a few.
Hat DT, I do have a question?
Can the DWM bar be set to the bottom also? Easier for me to see... I did not see anything on DWM Wiki... Just would like to know...
Have not Googled it either... LOL Yet! :-)
Thanks for the GitHub and your builds...
Thanks for the video too!

How about showing us a vid of compiling dwmblocks (the one that allows mouse clicks), so that we could learn how to build a system up? If I use your builds of dwmblocks (which I have), I'm only learning what key shortcuts you use and how to remove the scripts that I don't need, but not what it took to get it all together. Dwmblocks with mouse click support is the logical next step after we configure our status bar with what we need.

I'm happy with xfce4-panel running in dwm. was very easy to get up and running and I had xfce stuff anyway hanging round on my FS (arco). Because the statuscolors patch I got dwm showing up in my top - when the systray patch was also in, did not investigate much but offloaded any panel stuff from dwm into xfce4 panel, which includes systray.

dwm is actually first dynamic wm I kept using. Since I do not like usual workspaces implemented in other wm an de's, I did not like any of other wm's. Tags are something ideal for me. I am also using dwmblocks. I've started with Luke's build but I rewrote it from scratch to go through the process myself and remove unneeded stuff.

DistroTube correction, you CAN use unicode glyphs in vanilla dwm. Just not colored emojis. For example, one would install -Font Awesome-, set it in config.def.h then check the Font Awesome cheatsheet and copy and paste the glyphs you want into your dwm config/statusbar script and it will work.

Make or redo, updating, more videos about dwm and dwmblocks or slstatus, please! Tahks a lot. I learn a lot from your videos, even though I'm not fully fluent in the English language, since I'm Brazilian. But I'm always following your videos. It's just that the dwm videos got out of date I think.

Anyone else who is confused about which patches to use and what they do. There's an easier way. DWM-Flexipatch is available on github, and includes a simple 0/1 toggle for almost every patch. It's bloated, but makes dwm patching so simple.

The panel is by far the worse part of dwm. Since you redraw the title every time there's new input it consumes a lot more CPU than other panels. So if your software is minimalist but it wastes resources then maybe is not the right tool.

How does the update signal field work? How do we know/decide what the correct signal is and how does one set the kill command to kill and then update the correct script?
