Either adjust the size until finding the ideal scale that closes the gap, or toggle resizehints to 0 in config.h. If there are empty gaps of desktop space outside terminal windows, it is likely due to the terminal's font size. Setting wmname "LG3D" using wmname may help too. Try setting export _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1.

Troubleshooting Fixing misbehaving Java applications The following is a sample conkyrc for a dual core CPU, displaying several usage statistics: To do this, conky needs to be told to output text to the console only. Move 'dwm-setstatus' within your $PATH (/usr/local/bin, for example) $ gcc dwm-setstatus.c -lX11 -o dwm-setstatus Save this code to file dwm-setstatus.c, compile: While ((bytes_read = getline(&input, &length, stdin)) != EOF)įprintf(stderr, "\nbytes read: %ld\n", bytes_read) If you do not want to spawn too many PIDs by 'xsetroot' command, you can compile this C program:įprintf(stderr, "Can't open display, exiting.\n") (conky | while read LINE do xsetroot -name "$LINE" done) & Conky statusbarĬonky can be printed to the statusbar with xsetroot -name: Note: It is not recommended to set the update interval equal to zero or remove the "sleep" line entirely since this will cause CPU usage to rise substantially (you can assess the effect with top and powertop).

See the dwm tutorial for information on basic dwm usage.įor more examples of status bars, see. Redshift -O3500 xset r rate 300 50 exec dwm Alternatively, to start dwm with startx append exec dwm to ~/.xinitrc and prepend other programs to execute them as well, for example: Select Dwm from the menu in a display manager of choice. For information on applying patches, see the Patching packages article. These patches primarily make changes to the dwm.c file but also make changes to the config.h file where appropriate.

The official website has a number of patches that can add extra functionality to dwm.

For detailed information on these settings, see the included, well-commented as well as the customisation section on the dwm website. Configurationĭwm is configured at compile-time by editing some of its source files, specifically config.h. Note: Upstream instructions can also be followed, but will install files without having pacman keeping track of them.
