First, I really enjoy your content. I run dwm unpatched and with only minor modifications to the config file. I had to do some minor changes to the key bindings so that I could use all the bash/zsh key bindings properly. It is perfect for the majority of my use cases.

New to DWM here and have spent a day working with patches, restarting, and whittling down things to what I need, and they all apply to window management. Shift-Tools, which I recommend above Shift-View, given it takes concepts from the most popular patches pertaining to window and tag navigation. Move-Stack and Move-Resize patches expand floating mode and tiled mode navigation, making it far more ergonomic than default. Fourth and finally is Always-Center, because the last thing I want are floating windows going haywire due to invasive design, keep them in the middle. I'm happy. I feel like if you go further just to make DWM *look* a certain way but gain no actual useful functionality, you risk falling out of that "suckless" philosophy.
Includes a script to rebuild dwm every time you reboot the computer 🤣🤣🤣 Great video. I too have been trying to work my way back to a completely vanilla build of dwm. I used to have a real spaghetti code of patches that mostly just compensated for issues that the other patches caused! devour is a great tip I'd not heard of; thanks for that.
Great video. I have a question though, why do you recommend against binding shell scripts in config.h? What's the point of running a separate program (sxhkd) to do it instead?
sorry for late response. I think it's simple. Unix Philolsophy and It's cleaner, you know what you can do with sxhkd. efficiently add key bindings. cleaner easy to change.
Personally, I use qtile and because its python, I have added my custom code to extend its functionality. People think it will be slow because its made with python but they are wrong. Great content man. I live in the capital city of your state. "The city of Nawabs"
Hello, i like your videos, why dwm, st, and other progs are in your ~.local/src?. And not in /usr/bin/src?, I mean, the .local flder is hidden, its creates automaticaly? then i install pywal but later i cant findrhe folder /pix/wal. Sorry fo my englesh, and also im new in linux
Hey @BugsWriter, What do you think about AwesomeWM which is a DWM fork. I know some people may want to choose DWM over Awesome due to hardware availability (performance) and simplicity, but from my personal experience, AwesomeWM seems to be a good competitor for its high customizability with reasonable performance for all the features it offers. Would you consider doing a review?
hey !!! I watch your video and love it but I face a problem (actually a lot of but there's only one that i cannot solve ) so the problem is when i change the keybinding most of the key not working only some working (alt + b for hide dmanu , alt +shift+q for kill client ) after a lot of try I downloaded the dwm again and extract the defult keybinding from config.h and paste in my dwn config.h file but after that same thing happened in this time i don't even change the keys but only some keys are working . (already search a lot on insternet but not able to find ) can you tell me what's can be wrong ??????? BTW i am new to linux EDIT : I reinstall my whole os and DWM and do it 2 time now I thing there is a bug in kali whenever i try to edit config file (just a littlebit ) it stop working for some key binding so i wil try it on other distros EDIT--2 : FINALY !!!!!! I am able to do it on ubuntu-server. continuesly study wikis and going to sleep on 5 in morrning . I am able to do it Thanks BugsWriter for motivation
Hey where can we find your config.h? It just that i wanted to add to mine the thing in which you change the position of the windows but i really dont know how
absolute massive fan of your content, but - hear me out: i use the latest DWM with the latest DMENU when i remove the colors from config.h in dwm EXACTLY as you did it and recompiled using stock dmenu and stock dwm, dmenu does NOT spawn, it works completely fine without doing what you said. this should be 100% reproducible and i have tried a bunch of different things for several hours now, and i don't know how to get dwm and dmenu to use pywal colors.
I wanted to use the suckless software too but ST was too complicated because I don't know how to edit and compile stuff. Fortunately I use Wayland/Sway and the foot terminal is so good I don't need to use ST. Have you tried foot? Put 'exec foot --server' in your sway config and use wofi/fuzzel/dmenu to launch 'foot --client' to make it faster.
So is it possible to have Arch or any Linux Distribution without a DE but with a WM? And could it be possible to have both at te same time? I mean i.e: having GNOME with i3 or smth like that. P.S: Very good video, keep going like that!
dmenu key bindings stop working when you apply the pywal changes to config. Bg and colours change ok and dmenu_run works.. just not mod+p.. revert the config and mod+p works ok again.
Please help! Something about recompiling dwm right before starting it makes my computer freeze completely except for the mouse. Is there a fix? As of right now all I can do is set a fixed colour scheme for dwm and remove the recompiling part from the script. This is very annoying please help me.
I know what it is: I would need my root password recompile it, but I can't have it on startup. I know this because when I quitx and startx back again, having used sudo recently, it works. I also tested it not having used sudo and yeah, it broke. Now how do I compile dwm without needing root? Should I, really? Actually I just had an idea: either making it so the computer asks for the root password as soon as I log in, by putting something in my .bash_profile, or telling it to run setbg on .bash_profile. Let me test it...
Yeah I just have an alias for poweroff in my bashrc. It runs the script right before turning the computer off. Works fine. I didn't take this long to figure it out, just didn't care to post it here immediately. (No one will read this lol).
Damn man, sad ppl can not have opinions nowdays, btw is there any place where I could see it? Even if just for download or something, I learn a lot from your vids and I try to not miss any

There's only one good DWM patch (+ maybe the swallow patch): the multi-monitor patch to ensure I have a separate set of tags on each monitor.
DWM IS FAST AF!!!

use Arch also make sure u r not rebinding.

Hey where can we find your config.h? It just that i wanted to add to mine the thing in which you change the position of the windows but i really dont know how
Nice demonstration can you tell us the program that you use for hot keys is it "simple hotkeys" sorry you said it really fast lol
I think it's sxhkd, simple X hotkey daemon.
simple X hot key daemon (sxhkd)
Thanks guys I'll be moving my key bindings to that
Very nice video! Thank you for that.
Which ZSH theme are you using? Seems to change color based on the color scheme
It's not zsh it will happen to any shell like fish bash etc because of his terminal is using the pywal colors
absolute massive fan of your content, but -
hear me out: i use the latest DWM with the latest DMENU when i remove the colors from config.h in dwm EXACTLY as you did it and recompiled using stock dmenu and stock dwm, dmenu does NOT spawn, it works completely fine without doing what you said. this should be 100% reproducible and i have tried a bunch of different things for several hours now, and i don't know how to get dwm and dmenu to use pywal colors.
in your script `./setbg` for auto reload dwm after patchin with new color
`make....&& pkill dwm`
instead of having anysize patch we can change resizehints = 0 in dwm config.h
Btw, when I open a new st session, it uses the default color scheme and I have to run pywal again. Do you have this same issue?
nevermind luke's build takes care of this
I change wallpapers maybe a bit too much thanks to pywall, my eyes thank me later

0 Patches???
In dmenucmd you should keep the NULL at the end or dmenu won't start.
dmenu wouldn't start for me.. tried adding the NULL - no key bindings worked. Solution for me was to remove the -nb flag..
So is it possible to have Arch or any Linux Distribution without a DE but with a WM? And could it be possible to have both at te same time? I mean i.e: having GNOME with i3 or smth like that.
P.S: Very good video, keep going like that!
Yes you can! Actually Gnome has a WM of it's own called "Mutter"
@@mikesoto890 Thx for the answer buddy!
dmenu key bindings stop working when you apply the pywal changes to config. Bg and colours change ok and dmenu_run works.. just not mod+p.. revert the config and mod+p works ok again.
solution was to remove the "-nb" flag also.. which i found out by running dmenu with options in the terminal.
