This is a custom suckless st build (credits to lukesmith's build for ligatures patch) and I've added some additional patches like newterm , rightclick paste , desktop entry ,sixel, live-reload xresources , dynamic cursor etc!.

Patches:

alpha
Ligatures
sixel
scrollback
Clipboard
Alpha(Transparency)
Boxdraw
w3m
font2
right click paste
st desktop entry
newterm
anysize
anygeometry
xresources
sync patch ( Better draw timing to reduce flicker/tearing and improve animation smoothness )
live reload ( change colors/fonts on the fly ) and more...

How to apply Xresources and live-reload ?

 #make an alias for this command

alias load="kill -USR1 $(pidof st)"
alias  use="xrdb merge"

command : use Xresourcesfile && load
