chadwm

• 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)

• 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

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)

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 

• wallpaper

• You need to recompile dwm after every change you make to its source code.

cd ~/.config/chadwm/chadwm
rm config.h
sudo make install

• Bar : in bar.sh (line 9) and config.def.h (line 35)

• eww : in eww.scss (line 1)

• rofi : in config.rasi (line 15)

• 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
