This modified suckless dwm window manager is built for arch based phyOS distro but can be installed with following for any linux OS.
- Beta version iso has been released on gitlab. It will automatically install everything and clean up bloat packages with calamares.
- https://gitlab.com/phytech/phyos-iso
Programs below are all source code modified programs therefore all of them are needed to download from:
-
Simple installation would work for all repos other than fonts-phyOS, clone the repo and:
make && sudo make install
Main account : https://github.com/PhyTech-R0
- https://github.com/PhyTech-R0/dunst-phyOS
- https://github.com/PhyTech-R0/fonts-phyOS
- https://github.com/PhyTech-R0/st-phyOS
Make sure to use my dotfiles, all of the scripts and path variables need to be set correctly for full functionality.
All dwmblocks and scripts are in dwmblocksconfig directory. All configuration files can be read from single path only, if it is not found it will revert to default. Note that if statusbar scripts are not in path, it won't work correctly. Please be sure that all scripts are something in your $PATH variable.
- I thought about creating this folder and configuration files automatically, however they will erase on if you changed your config file and reinstalled dwm. Therefore please create this folder, move everything in dwmblocksconfig to path above and follow the steps below.
- All blocks in bar is clickable. It will open programs, or make some action if clicked. Just check scripts for how to implement your own.
- In dwmblocksconfig folder, there is a main configuration file called dwmblocks.cfg . This is the main config file, you can add or delete any configuration files from there by @include directive, just use the same syntax in that file.
- All the bash scripts can be found in dwmblocksconfig/scripts. Choose any scripts you want, then add them on your path, like "/usr/local/bin" etc. or anywhere you want.
- Don't delete .cfg files contained in dwmblocksconfig/statusbar, you can add or remove them from main config file. Not included files won't be loaded in dwmblocks.
- Note that most scripts use glyphs, please install a compatible nerd font for it. You can checkout fonts-phyOS repo for default fonts that i currenty use.
- light
- picom
- unclutter
- rofi
- dmenu
- lf
- xmenu
- s-tui (stress test)
- cointop (terminal crypto prices)
- nvtop (nvidia gpu monitor)
- pamixer
- pulsemixer
- imlib2
- maim
- joypixels emoji font
- zathura (pdf reader, used for keys)
I am currently maintaning this for arch linux only, therefore arch users can follow the below instructions to install everything easily:
Append package repo end of your /etc/pacman.conf :
[phyOS-repo]
SigLevel = Optional TrustedOnly
Server = https://PhyTech-R0.github.io/$repo/$arch
Then install necessary programs with pacman easily:
pacman -Sy phyOS-dwm phyOS-dunst phyOS-st phyOS-fonts phyOS-dmenu phyOS-xmenu rofi picom unclutter lf ttf-joypixels light
git clone https://github.com/PhyTech-R0/dwm-phyOS
cd dwm-phyOS && make && sudo make install
You need to install fonts to your system first (Nerd fonts, including all glyphs etc.):
git clone github.com/phytech-r0/fonts-phyOS
cd fonts-phyOS && sudo mv *.otf *.ttf /usr/fonts/ttf
sudo fc-cache
You can copy "keys.h" file to '~/.config/phyos/dwm/' to change default bindings. Change keys.h with your taste, after that run:
phyup dwm
To update dwm easily. (wget required, you probably have it)
phyup dots
Note that this will replace all dots with new ones, if you have your current vim configuration or etc. please move them or rename them before using this command.
