We welcome improvements to this page. To edit this page, Create a Funtoo account. Then log in and then click here to edit this page. See our editing guidelines to becoming a wiki-editing pro.
Installation
A program launcher is needed to run programs from dwm. You can choose dmenu or rofi.
/etc/portage/make.conf
- Set dmenu USE-flagUSE="$USE dmenu"
root # emerge -av dwm
Configuration
dwm is configured by editing /etc/portage/savedconfig/x11-wm/dwm-6.0
and rebuilding.
Enable savedconfig.
/etc/portage/package.use
x11-wm/dwm savedconfig
Edit configuration file.
root # nano /etc/portage/savedconfig/x11-wm/dwm-6.0
Rebuild dwm.
root # emerge dwm

Patching
Patches in /etc/portage/patches/x11-wm/dwm
are applied when emerging dwm. Patches have to have .patch file extension.
root # mkdir -p /etc/portage/patches/x11-wm/dwm root # cd /etc/portage/patches/x11-wm/dwm root # wget -O dwm-6.0-pertag.patch http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/dwm-6.0-pertag.diff
Rebuild dwm.
root # emerge dwm
Customize statusbar
dwm has a statusbar that can be customized with xsetroot
. You can run xsetroot from ~/.xinitrc
.
~/.xinitrc
ifname="wlan0" interval=5 rxs=0 txs=0 while true; do temp="$(cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone1/temp | cut -b1,2)C" load="$(cat /proc/loadavg | cut -d " " -f 1)" bandwidth="${rxs}KiB/s ${txs}KiB/s" batusage="$(cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/capacity)%" batstatus="$(cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status)" date="$(date +"%a %d.%m %H:%M")" xsetroot -name "$temp $load | $bandwidth | $batusage $batstatus | $date" rx1=$(cat /sys/class/net/$ifname/statistics/rx_bytes) tx1=$(cat /sys/class/net/$ifname/statistics/tx_bytes) sleep $interval rx2=$(cat /sys/class/net/$ifname/statistics/rx_bytes) tx2=$(cat /sys/class/net/$ifname/statistics/tx_bytes) rxs=$(expr $rx2 - $rx1) txs=$(expr $tx2 - $tx1) rxs=$(expr $rxs / $interval) txs=$(expr $txs / $interval) rxs=$(expr $rxs / 1024) txs=$(expr $txs / 1024) done & exec dwm
Starting
You can start dwm by configuring ~/.xinitrc
and running startx
.
~/.xinitrc
exec dwm
user $ startx
To autostart dwm on login see Getty as display manager.
