A small, easily extensible and efficient (as is yet to be proven) dwm status bar information provider.

Motivation to write this little tool was getting up to speed with c++11 and template metaprogramming as proposed by "Modern C++ Design: Generic Programming and Design Patterns Applied" by A. Alexandrescu.

(BTW: The name is an acronym of "DWM SAtusbar in c PLUS plus" - yeah, I'm a creative guy. g)

Requirements

X11/Xlib header files
c++11 compatible C++ compiler
dwm (sort of - you don't acutally need dwm as such, any other WM using the X11 root window name as statusbar info would do :) )

Installation

Take a look at config.mk and adapt it to your system.

Then usual

make
make install

should suffice.

Configuration

See config.h for instructions and examples. Feel free adjust the typedef InfoModules to your requirements.

Extending

See the existing InfoSources. Basically, you have to:

create an new class/struct, which implements InfoSource
override the get() method to provide the information your source is supposed to provid
insert it into the InfoSource chain in config.h
