chadwm (Initial look)

<img src="https://github.com/siduck/chadwm/blob/screenshots/screenshots/initial_look.png"> <img src="https://github.com/siduck/chadwm/blob/screenshots/screenshots/col_layout.png"> <img src="https://github.com/siduck/chadwm/blob/screenshots/screenshots/occ_act_tags.png"> (empty workspaces have their color greyed out)

NOTE: This is vanilla dwm bar (status2d patch for setting colors) not dwmblocks or polybar. <img src="https://github.com/siduck/chadwm/blob/screenshots/screenshots/chadwm.png">
The small widget on the top right is an eww widget and thats old! I've improved the eww widget. <img src='https://i.redd.it/t1pvmqlq3oc81.png'>

Install

(Note: chmod +x all of the scripts)

Run chadwm

With startx

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

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

(Make an alias for this :v)

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

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
