This is really interesting! I created some dwmblocks widgets to use on my dwmblocks bar but this builtin format looks more simple and have less moving parts.
I'm a little surprised it took SL this long to create a status bar program. It really is quite basic. I thought this might be a new name for dwmstatus, but it seems not to be. I ended up making my own shell script years ago with sed/grep that displays network info, volume, battery, and date/time. It's only about 1KB.
judging by the tone of his writing and general design philosophy he probably assumes/wants you'd write this yourself in c, just the functions you wanted, and patch it to dwm or standalone with cat, which is fairly trivial. I'd imagine he thinks it's useless or superfluous in general. just guessing tho.
This looks really cool! I just installed Arch with DWM as my first tiling window manager, trying to get the hang of it. So far I have time/date, battery percentage, now I'm trying to figure out how to get the volume to show.
im assuming you can cat so that you can store output in a tmp file for status calls that dont need to be updated often. like feeds or weather or whatnot.

I really like your videos, but can I request for a better zoom in the terminal when possible(for us who watch on mobile phones)?😅
The rapidly decreasing disk space was the funniest thing

What camera software do you use to get that circle? I've been using mpv, but can't make it a circle.
In this video, I used OBS for recording. That circle was an effect added to my video source.

Great vid as usual
Is it possible to also move the bar to the bottom ?
Yes, in dwm config.h file.
Amazing
Thanks, i need this, i don't want polybar consuming my ram too much, i just need an information of my computer, don't need a pretty appearance.
