Custom DWM-IPC Build

This is my custom DWM(IPC) build with custom patches and Polybar support.

FAQ

  • Why did I use IPC? Because I wanted to use Polybar since it's a pain to customize the normal DWM bar.

  • Did I change any keybinds? NO, I don't change my keybinds. Because I cba to follow tutorials which have a different keybind than me, so I just use the defaults.

  • What DWM version is this? DWM 6.2 :D

Patches Used

  • Anybar - Cuz I use Polybar, and not the normal DWM bar
  • DWM-IPC - Comes with the build, as Polybar needs IPC for DWM
  • Vanity Gaps - Cuz gaps increase your swag
  • Autostart - To run scripts after startup (e.g compositor, wallpaper manager, statusbar, etc.)
  • Tatami - Cuz I don't like the normal layout

Here's how it looks like for me

P.S: Mine might look different because I am also using Picom, Dmenu, Polybar, Spicetify, and Alacritty alongside DWM
