+### Description
+This patch **requires** the dwl [barconfig](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches/src/branch/main/patches/bar) patch be applied first! The barconfig patch provides configuration for the dwl bar via the variable
+`barlayout`. This determines which of the elements listed below to
+display on the bar and in which order:
+
+- 't' -> the tags
+- 'l' -> the current layout symbol
+- 'n' -> the window name
+- 's' -> the status message
+- '|' -> elements on the right of this separator will be displayed from
+         the right
+
+**NOTE**: This patch is a dwl port of the [original](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/barconfig/) barconfig patch for dwm.
+
+### Known Issues With Patch
+Putting the tags after the '|' separator prevents tags 1 to 7 from being displayed. I do not have any plans
+to look into this, as I ported this patch for the sole purpose of having the option to omit the layout symbol from 
+the bar.
