For Thinkpad X220 I've tried to keep dwm as minimal as I can to use screen real estate and keyboard actions.
- dwm-alpha
- dwm-fibonacci
- dwm-fullgaps
- dwm-statuscolors
- XF86Keys
#include <X11/XF86keysym.h>
static const char *fonts[] = { "Source Code Pro:size=12:style=Bold:antialias=true:autohint=false" };

Simple dwm statusbar shows brightness, volume, battery, date and time. Save it in an executable and start before exec dwm in xinitrc.
#!/bin/sh
# dwm statusbar
status () {
echo -n "BAT: $(acpi -b | awk '{ split($5,a,":"); print substr($3,0,2), $4, "["a[1]":"a[2]"]" }' | tr -d ',') | $(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')"
}
while :; do
xsetroot -name "🞼 $(expr $(cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness) / 49) 奄 $(pactl list sinks | grep '^[[:space:]]Volume:' | head -n $(( $SINK + 1 )) | tail -n 1 | sed -e 's,.* \([0-9][0-9]*\)%.*,\1,')% $(status)"
