A very basic statusbar for dwm, I quickly threw together for my fresh install :)

Build

Dependencies

Tools

• dwm
• make
• clang

Libs

• libx11
• libpulse

Configure

Edit config.h

Modules are added as follows:

Modules modules = {
    { module_short_name, { icon_count, values[], icons[] } }
}

The default formatter will chose icons depending on the provided values, e.g:

values[] = 1, 2
icons[] = "a", "b", "c"

if value < 1 then "a"
if value > 1 and value < 2 then "b"
if value > 2 then "c"

Make

Build the binary:

make

Install the binary:

make install

Usage

Simply execute the statusbar after starting dwm
