chadwm (Initial look)

(empty workspaces have their color greyed out)
  • NOTE: This is vanilla dwm bar (status2d patch for setting colors) not dwmblocks or polybar.

- The small widget on the top right is an eww widget and thats old! I've improved the eww widget.

(catppuccin theme)

(gruvbox material dark)

Tag preview (while hovering tag icon)

vid.mp4

Requirements

  • dash (shell)
  • imlib2
  • xsetroot package (status2d uses this to add colors on dwmbar)
  • JetbrainsMono Nerd Font or any nerd font but dont forget to set it in config.def.h
  • Make sure to setup your terminal's theme accordingly do chadwm's theme such as nord, onedark etc...

Other requirements

  • picom
  • feh
  • acpi
  • rofi

Install

git clone https://github.com/siduck/chadwm --depth 1  ~/.config/chadwm
cd ~/.config/chadwm/
mv eww ~/.config
cd chadwm
sudo make install

(Note: chmod +x all of the scripts)

Run chadwm

With startx

startx ~/.config/chadwm/scripts/run.sh

With sx

sx sh ~/.config/chadwm/scripts/run.sh

(Make an alias for this :v)

alias chadwm='startx ~/.config/chadwm/scripts/run.sh'

With Display Manager

  • Create a desktop entry (make sure to change user with your user):
sudo touch /usr/share/xsessions/chadwm.desktop  
[Desktop Entry]
Name=chadwm
Comment=dwm made beautiful 
Exec=/home/user/.config/chadwm/scripts/./run.sh 
Type=Application 

Recompile

  • You need to recompile dwm after every change you make to its source code.
cd ~/.config/chadwm/chadwm
rm config.h
sudo make install

Change themes

  • Bar : in bar.sh (line 9) and config.def.h (line 35)
  • eww : in eww.scss (line 1)
  • rofi : in config.rasi (line 15)

Eww

  • First, make sure you have copied the eww directory to your config:
cp -r ~/.config/chadwm/eww ~/.config/
  • To launch the eww widget, you need the following command:
eww open eww

(Note: I use only alsa on my system so audio scripts on widget are alsa related, modify them to support pulseaudio)

  • It could be a good idea to add these lines to your autostart file, located at ~/.config/chadwm/scripts/run.sh
