Hi list, I would like to share my conf which is optimized for laptops or single screen users.
As I like to keep my top bar with the window title and tag descriptions, I couldn't display enough information in the top-right corner. So I just quickly patched dwm to add a empty bottom border and I use conky to display information at the bottom. My bottom bar is only 10 pix but anyway if you miss some space you can use MODKEY+B to get the full screen available. I let you take a look at the screenshot : http://yfrog.com/b8screenshotconf1p If you want to do the same just launch conky like this : conky -d -y 2 This is the patch, you just have to define an "int marginbottom" in your config.h with the size in pixel of the bottom margin. diff -r bcce736c1de3 dwm.c --- a/dwm.c Tue Jul 14 19:07:53 2009 +0100 +++ b/dwm.c Mon Jul 20 22:43:09 2009 +0200 @@ -1674,6 +1674,9 @@ m->wh = m->mh; if(m->showbar) { m->wh -= bh; + m->wh -= marginbottom; + if(!m->topbar) + m->wy += marginbottom; m->by = m->topbar ? m->wy : m->wy + m->wh; m->wy = m->topbar ? m->wy + bh : m->wy; } Enjoy -- Sidney Amani
