dwm themed like Windows 11 or something.

- Run "
sudo -i
" - Run "
cp /path/to/DejaVuSansMono.zip /usr/share/fonts
" - cd to "
/usr/share/fonts
" - I recommend making a folder so you can tell between normal Deja Vu Sans Mono and Deja Vu Sans Mono Nerd Font. So run "
mkdir DejaVuSansMonoNerd
" or whatever you want to call the folder - You are done
- cd to "
dwm-6.3
" - Change keybinds in "
config.h
" if desired (default ModKey is Mod4Key or Super/Windows button) - Run "
sudo make install
" - add "
exec dwm
" to your ~/.xinitrc
You can install dwm without root. Just run "make
" and then do the path to the "dwm
" executable in your "~/.xinitrc
" Example:
"exec ~/.suckless/dwm-6.3/dwm
"
Action | Result |
---|---|
Win + Return |
Open Terminal |
Win + C |
Kill |
Win + D |
Open dmenu |
- cd to "
dmenu-5.1
" - Edit "
config.h
" if desired - Run "
sudo make install
"
If you edited dwm's:
static const char *fonts[] = { "DejaVuSansMono Nerd Font:style=Book:size=11" };
static const char dmenufont[] = "DejaVuSansMono Nerd Font:style=Book:size=11";
or
static const unsigned int borderpx = 1; /* border pixel of windows */
You may want to read the top of "dmenu-5.1/patches/dmenu-bottomleft-4.8.diff
" file as you may want to re-patch dmenu.
I am not including a status bar program due to the fact that everyone's hardware is different. If you want a status bar program I would recommend dwmblocks. My setup for dwmblocks in @ github (https://github.com/XxVaD3r/dwmblocks-ux31a). If you use an ASUS UX31A laptop then all of those scripts should work.
