My custom build of the blazing fast and amazing dwm tiling window manager, made for absolute productivity and workflow control.

Key Features

• A bunch of extra layouts
  • Default ones:
    • master & stack.
    • floating.
    • monocle
  • Added ones:
    • dwindle.
    • spiral.
    • centered master (also known as three column).
    • centered floating master (master window floating at the center of the screen, stack on the back).
    • grid.
• Keychord based keybindings: Just like emacs, you can have chained keybindings, which exponentially extends the amount of keybindings you can have.
• Scratchpad support: Convenient scratchpad functionality for storing and retrieving frequently used applications.
• Tag based workflow
  • Each tag (also called workspaces) is meant to have it's purpose, this is achieved with an extensive set of window rules:
    • Tag 1: Coding
    • Tag 2: Testing
    • Tag 3: Web browsing
    • Tag 4: Chatting
    • Tag 5: Audio tools
    • Tag 6: Video tools
    • Tag 7: Graphic tools
    • Tag 8: Office & Document tools
    • Tag 9: Gaming
• Other suckless utilities included
  • dmenu: the best run launcher. This build includes some very useful scripts for things like wifi, bluetooth and wallpaper configuration, drive mounting, etc.
  • herbe & tiramisu: a minimal and fast notification daemon (tiramisu is the daemon, herbe is the notification window).
  • st: the fastest terminal emulator ever, siduck's build.
  • slock: simple and efficient lock screen with fingerprint reader support.
  • dwbmlocks: what enables you to customize dwm's status area in the bar. This build includes some cool & customizable status scripts.

After installing them with your package manager of choice, you can do the following to get the source code and start to modify it to your liking.

# Clone this repository
$ git clone https://github.com/d4r1us-drk/dwm.git

# Go into the repository
$ cd dwm/

# Select which project to compile & install (dwm in this case)
$ cd dwm

# To install
$ sudo make install && make clean

This repository is not a tutorial on how to modify or configure dwm or any of the included suckless tools, you obviusly don't need to learn C to do this, with this build you can start with an usable base and you wont even need to patch anything. If you want to add a patch though, you will need to do this manually, because most patching utilities like patch and git apply will fail due to how much of the code base I modified myself.

To configure my build, the only file you really need to modify is the config.h file in each tool, which has everything commented and explained. Of course this being my build, it is already configured for my needs.
