Modular build

This build is easy to maintain. It keeps the dwm.c code separate from new features.

No Core Patches

The main goal is to avoid patching directly dwm.c. This approach has these benefits:

• Easy Updates: It is easy to add new dwm versions because the core code stays original.
• Organized: All new features stay in functions.c. This makes the code simple to follow.

Main Features

This method adds these features without changing the core:

• Better Workflow: Improved window focus, browser tools, and navigation.
• New Layouts: Includes new window layouts.
• Save Sessions: Remembers window layouts and states when restarting.
• Scratchpads: Quick access to apps through a special scratchpad system.

More Features

The functions.c file has more features for daily work, etc.

Installation

1. Clone

$ git clone https://github.com/gonzaru/dwm.git

2. Copy

# copy the files to your dwm directory
$ cp {config.h,functions.c,themes.h} /path/to/dwm

3. Build

$ cd /path/to/dwm
$ make clean
$ make

4. Install (optional)

# copy the binary file to any searchable shell $PATH, for example:
$ sudo cp dwm /usr/local/bin/

• Or

$ make install (use sudo if necessary)

Configuration

Customize the build using config.h and themes.h. The functions in functions.c work just like standard dwm functions. Use them in the keys and buttons arrays in config.h.
