dwmbar

Simple status bar for dwm

Installation

cargo install dwmbar

Configuration

The config file is placed at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dwmbar/config.json or simply ~/.config/dwmbar/config.json The default should give you an idea of how it is structured. This is a basic command:

...
{
  "command": "pwd",
  "update_delay": 5000, // Update delay, in ms (optional)
  "ignore_status_code": true, // Take the output even if the status code indicates a failure. Default: false (optional)
},
...

Each command is seperated by the delimiter specified at the top of the file.
thread_polling_delay refers to the delay after checking if any commands are done. 1/0.thread_polling_delay is effectively the refresh rate at which the status bar is updated
