Polybar

This dwm build uses polybar-dwm-module.

Installation

Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if necessary as root):

make clean install

Running dwm

Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:

exec dwm

Configuration

The configuration of dwm is done by modifying config.def.h and (re)compiling the source code.
