(empty workspaces have their color greyed out)

- NOTE: This is vanilla dwm bar (status2d patch for setting colors) not dwmblocks or polybar.

- The small widget on the top right is an eww widget and thats old! I've improved the eww widget.

## Other requirements
- picom

# Install

git clone https://github.com/siduck/chadwm --depth 1  ~/.config/chadwm

(Note: chmod +x all of the scripts)

# Run chadwm

## With startx

```shell
startx ~/.config/chadwm/scripts/run.sh
```

## With sx

```

(Make an alias for this :v)

alias chadwm='startx ~/.config/chadwm/scripts/run.sh'
```

## With Display Manager

- Create a desktop entry (make sure to change `user` with your user):

```shell
sudo touch /usr/share/xsessions/chadwm.desktop  
```

# Recompile

- You need to recompile dwm after every change you make to its source code.

```
cd ~/.config/chadwm/chadwm
rm config.h
sudo make install
```

# Change themes

- Bar  : in bar.sh (line 9) and config.def.h (line 35)
- eww  : in eww.scss (line 1)
- rofi : in config.rasi (line 15)

# Eww

- First, make sure you have copied the eww directory to your config:

```
cp -r ~/.config/chadwm/eww ~/.config/
```

- To launch the eww widget, you need the following command:

```
eww open eww
```
(Note: I use only alsa on my system so audio scripts on widget are alsa related, modify them to support pulseaudio)

- It could be a good idea to add these lines to your autostart file, located at ~/.config/chadwm/scripts/run.sh
