🍙 Configuration

DWM

I use dwm-flexipatch.

List of enabled patches:

BAR_DWMBLOCKS_PATCH
BAR_STATUSCMD_PATCH
BAR_CENTEREDWINDOWNAME_PATCH
BAR_HEIGHT_PATCH
BAR_PADDING_PATCH
BAR_STATUSALLMONS_PATCH
FLOATPOS_PATCH
FLOATPOS_RESPECT_GAPS_PATCH
LG3D_PATCH
PERTAG_PATCH
TOGGLELAYOUT_PATCH
VANITYGAPS_PATCH
VANITYGAPS_MONOCLE_PATCH

dwmblocks-async

Blocks are clickable. This requires extra/libnotify package and a few patches enabled in the dwm-flexipatch config. Also it requires dunst notification daemon installed.

The appearance of notify-send is sat up in dunstrc config file (~/.config/dunst/dunstrc).

I run it all on ThinkPad E14 so I use TLP for power management. Some tlp.conf settings:

# Do not suspend USB devices
USB_AUTOSUSPEND=0
