• fullgaps
• gridmode

To install this on your system, first you need the following dependencies:

yay -S nerd-fonts-ubuntu-mono

I always use that font for icons. You will also need my custom dwmblocks and ~/.local/bin scripts.

# dwm & dwmblocks
cd ~/.config
git clone https://github.com/antoniosarosi/dwm.git
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/dwm
ln -s ~/.config/dwm/autostart.sh ~/.local/share/dwm

# Scripts
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
cd ~/.local/bin
curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antoniosarosi/dotfiles/master/.local/bin/battery" -o battery
curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antoniosarosi/dotfiles/master/.local/bin/volume" -o volume
curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antoniosarosi/dotfiles/master/.local/bin/percentage" -o percentage
curl -sL "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antoniosarosi/dotfiles/master/.local/bin/brightness" -o brightness
chmod 755 battery volume percentage brightness

# These scripts have some dependencies
sudo pacman -S pacman-contrib brightnessctl pamixer upower

Place this in your ~/.xprofile:

export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH

Build dwm and dwmblocks and create a new xsession:

cd ~/.config/dwm
sudo make clean install
cd ~/.config/dwm/dwmblocks
sudo make clean install
sudo cp ~/.config/dwm/dwm.desktop /usr/share/xsessions

For autostart, check ~/.dwm/autostart.sh. Test it with Xephyr:

Xephyr -br -ac -noreset -screen 1280x720 :1 &
DISPLAY=:1 dwm

If you want to modify bar icons, open ~/.config/dwmblocks/config.h and change these lines:

static const Block blocks[] = {
//   Icon    Command                          Update Interval     Update Signal
    { "  ", "checkupdates | wc -l",                 60,               0 },
    { "",    "brightness",                           2,                0 },
    { "",    "volume",                               2,                0 },
    { "",    "battery",                              60,               0 },
    { "",    "date '+ %d/%m/%Y   %H:%M%p'",        5,                0 },
};

Then recompile dwmblocks and restart dwm using mod + control + r.

cd ~/.config/dwm/dwmblocks
sudo make clean install

Once that's done, you can login. But keep in mind keybindings will not work unless you have the same programs that I use and the same configs. You can either change keybindings or install the software I use and my config files, check out my dotfiles repo for instructions.
