That needs to be applied first. The patch creates subdirectories `lib` and `include`. After patching, but before `make`, install `libstatusnotifier-systray-gtk4.a` and `snsystray.h` from statusnotifier-systray-gtk4 in the directories. One possible way to do that: 1. Clone [https://codeberg.org/janetski/statusnotifier-systray-gtk4](https://codeberg.org/janetski/statusnotifier-systray-gtk4). Can clone to any location. 2. From statusnotifier-systray-gtk4 root: 1. `$ meson setup --default-library=static --prefix=/ -Dgir=false -Dvala=false -Ddocs=false build` 2. `$ meson compile -C build` 3. `$ DESTDIR=$DWLDIR meson install -C build`, where $DWLDIR is the path to dwl root. 3. Finally, from dwl root, run `make`. ### Download - [git branch](/janetski/dwl/src/branch/0.7-systray) - [0.7](/dwl/dwl-patches/raw/branch/main/patches/bar-systray/bar-systray-0.7.patch) ### Authors - [janetski](https://codeberg.org/janetski) ([.vetu](https://discordapp.com/users/355488216469471242) on discord) --- # barborder ### Description Add a border around the [bar](/dwl/dwl-patches/wiki/bar) similar to how a client is given a border. ### Download - [0.7](/dwl/dwl-patches/raw/branch/main/patches/barborder/barborder.patch) ### Authors - [sewn](https://codeberg.org/sewn) --- # barcolors ### Description Add support for colored status text to the [bar](/dwl/dwl-patches/src/branch/main/patches/bar).

Defaults to the center of the screen and the client size. If the width or height is less than or equal to 1, then the value will be interpreted as a percentage. For example, 0.5 represents 50%, 0.25 represents 25%, and 1 represents 100%. **NOTE**: Some clients, like Thunar, have minimum width/height The variable `center_relative_to_monitor` allows the user to choose whether to center relative to the monitor or relative to the window area.
Explanation of center_relative_to_monitor: 
The "Monitor area" refers to the space enclosed by the green rectangle, while the "Window area" refers to the space enclosed by the red rectangle.

String "com.obsproject.Studio" should be exact match for appid of the client. To get appid use [dwlmsg](https://codeberg.org/notchoc/dwlmsg), or run stock dwl from a terminal then launch the needed application inside, dwl will print all the info to the stdout. Note that if popup (like [fuzzel](https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel)) is focused, no key will be globally passed.

This patch was based on the [simple-touch-input](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches/wiki/simple-touch-input) but instead of emulating mouse movement, this now forwards the appropriate event notifications to clients. KNOWN BUGS: - Sometimes, the pointer moves to where the screen is pressed, but the button press doesn't occur until the screen is touched AGAIN. This means that if you touch to click button 'Q' on the screen (for instance), nothing happens; then you touch elsewhere on the screen and THEN button 'Q' registers a click. This is annoying, doesn't always happen, and I don't yet know how to fix it. ### Download - [git branch](https://codeberg.org/minego/dwl/src/branch/touch) - [2024-03-26](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches/raw/branch/main/patches/less-simple-touch-input/less-simple-touch-input.patch) ### Authors - [minego](https://codeberg.org/minego) - [fauxmight](https://codeberg.org/fauxmight) - [Unprex](https://github.com/Unprex) ### Changelog - 2024-02-11 Corrected issue where motion events where not sending notifications for unfocused clients such as an on screen keyboard - 2024-03-26 Rebased, and removed #ifdef's for the pointer constraints patch which has been merged into upstream - 2024-03-28 Removed debug --- # limitnmaster ### Description Limits nmaster to within the range of currently-opened windows (nmaster will not change past the full horizontal split layout) ### Download - [git branch](https://codeberg.org/dev-gm/dwl/src/branch/limitnmaster) - [2024-03-15](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches/raw/branch/main/patches/limitnmaster/limitnmaster.patch) ### Authors - [dev-gm](https://codeberg.org/dev-gm) --- # lockedkeys ### Description This patch allows you to add keybindings to the lockscreen. ```c static const Key lockedkeys[] = { /* Note that Shift changes certain key codes: c -> C, 2 -> at, etc. */ /* modifier key function argument */ /* Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and Ctrl-Alt-Fx used to be handled by X server */ { WLR_MODIFIER_CTRL|WLR_MODIFIER_ALT,XKB_KEY_Terminate_Server, quit, {0} }, #define CHVT(n) { WLR_MODIFIER_CTRL|WLR_MODIFIER_ALT,XKB_KEY_XF86Switch_VT_##n, chvt, {.ui = (n)} } CHVT(1), CHVT(2), CHVT(3), CHVT(4), CHVT(5), CHVT(6), CHVT(7), CHVT(8), CHVT(9), CHVT(10), CHVT(11), CHVT(12), }; ``` ### Download - [git branch](https://codeberg.org/wochap/dwl/src/branch/v0.5/lockedkeys) - [2024-04-11](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches/raw/commit/fc4146f3068dcd46035a2a11fe9d6109a97ae6d6/lockedkeys/lockedkeys.patch) - [v0.5](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches/raw/commit/2a6560c167e5c9afc5598ac5431d23d90de8846c/lockedkeys/lockedkeys.patch) ### Authors - [wochap](https://codeberg.org/wochap) --- # mastercolumn ### Description This patch adds a layout, `mastercol`, in which the windows in the master area are arranged in columns of equal size.

Then, you can press f to launch `Firefox` and return to the default `NORMAL` mode. ```c enum { BROWSER, }; const char *modes_labels[] = { "browser", }; static const Key keys[] = { // ... { MODKEY, XKB_KEY_b, entermode, {.i = BROWSER} }, // ... }; static const Modekey modekeys[] = { /* mode modifier key function argument */ { BROWSER, { 0, XKB_KEY_f, spawn, SHCMD("firefox") } }, { BROWSER, { 0, XKB_KEY_f, entermode, {.i = NORMAL} } }, { BROWSER, { 0, XKB_KEY_Escape, entermode, {.i = NORMAL} } }, }; ``` ### Download - [git branch](https://codeberg.org/wochap/dwl/src/branch/v0.5/modes) - [v0.5](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches/raw/branch/main/patches/modes/modes.patch) ### Authors - [wochap](https://codeberg.org/wochap) --- # monfig ### Description Allows more monitor configuration in config.h ### Download - [git branch](https://codeberg.org/Palanix/dwl/src/branch/monfig) - [2024-02-15](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches/raw/branch/main/patches/monfig/monfig.patch) ### Authors - [Palanix](https://codeberg.org/Palanix) --- # movecenter ### Description > This patch is no longer being maintained by me [wochap](https://codeberg.org/wochap), since I'm now using a different patch specific to my use case: https://codeberg.org/wochap/dwl/src/branch/v0.6-c/betterfloat/betterfloat-diff.patch. This patch provides a keybinding to center the focused floating window. Press MODKEY + x to center the focused floating window. It does NOT center windows that are not floating. The variable `respect_monitor_reserved_area` allows the user to choose whether to center relative to the monitor or relative to the window area.
Explanation of respect_monitor_reserved_area: 
The "Monitor area" refers to the space enclosed by the green rectangle, while the "Window area" refers to the space enclosed by the red rectangle.

With only one keybinding, quickly move, swap and jump around the window stack. 1. Focus any window of the stack with a single key binding. 2. Swap the currently focused windows with any other window in the stack. 3. Move the selected window in the stack with `relativeswap`. This patch is heavily inspired by the original [stacker](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/stacker/) dwm patch. ### Keybinding - `MODKEY` + {`q`, `w`, `e`, `r`}: jump to the first, second, third and last window of the stack - `MODKEY` + `SHIFT` + {`Q`, `W`, `E`, `R`}: swap the selected with the first, second, third and last window of the stack - `MODKEY` + `SHIFT` + {`J`, `K`}: move the selected window up & down the stack ### Missing feature Jumping to the last selected window is not yet implemented. ### Download - [git branch](https://codeberg.org/jeromecst/dwl/src/branch/stacker) - [2024-05-17](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches/raw/branch/main/patches/stacker/stacker.patch) ### Authors - [jeromecst](https://codeberg.org/jeromecst) --- # startargv ### Description allow passing startup command on argv e.g. `dwl -s foot -s` launches `foot -s` put `sh -c` right after `dwl -s` to emulate normal behaviour ### Download - [git branch](https://codeberg.org/notchoc/dwl/src/branch/startargv) - [2024-07-03](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches/raw/branch/main/patches/startargv/startargv.patch) ### Authors - [notchoc](https://codeberg.org/notchoc) --- # sticky ### Description Adds a toggleable function that makes a sticky client that is visible on all tags.

This patch is inspired from . Citing the description of the dwm patch: > Dwm tags are a powerfull feature that allows organizing windows in workspaces. Sometime it can be difficult to remember the tag to activate to unhide a window. With the winview patch the window to unhide can be selected from the all-window view. The user switches to the all-window view (Mod1-0), selects the window (Mod1-j/k or using the mouse) and press Mod1-o. The key Mod1-o switches the view to the selected window tag. > > #### Recommend patches > > The grid layout is well adapted to display many windows in a limited space. Using both grid and pertag patches you will be able to select this layout for the all-window view while keeping your preferred layout for the other views. > Configuration and Installation > Using the default configuration file > > Make sure the directory where you build dwm does not contain a config.h file; > Apply the patch; > Run make and make install. > > Using an existing customised configuration file > > Apply the patch; Add the following element in the keys array: > > `{ MODKEY, XK_o, winview, {0} },` > > Run make and make install. > > An example of how to insert this line can be found in the default config file template, config.def.h. ### Download - [2023-11-26](https://codeberg.org/dwl/dwl-patches/raw/branch/main/patches/winview/winview.patch) - [git branch](https://codeberg.org/dhruva_sambrani/dwl/src/branch/winview) ### Authors - [Dhruva Sambrani](https://codeberg.org/dhruva_sambrani) --- # xwayland-handle-minimize ### Description Some windows (wine) games go black screen after losing focus and never recover https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/4324.

Add a udev rule to uniquely identify the device, for example: ``` sudo echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="iio", KERNEL=="iio*", ATTR{name}=="accel_3d", GROUP="input", SYMLINK+="input/accel"' >> /etc/udev/rules.d/99-accel.rules sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger ``` (the device is probably already in /dev/ e.g. `/dev/iio:device0` but on my computer the number changes after a reboot) A symlink to the device should now be available in `/dev/input/` and accessible to input group members. \ Add the device path to the dwl configuration **accel_path**. ### Config * `rotation_enabled`: If the auto rotation is enabled on startup. * `rotation_delay`: How often to check the accelerometer values in milliseconds. * `rotation_flat`: Threshold on the normalized Z axis to consider the device flat and stop the auto rotation. * `rotation_thresh`: Rotation threshold after which the screen flips (values less than 0.5 will cause a back and forth). + `accel_path`: The path to the accelerometer device file (e.g. "/dev/input/accel"). + `accel_x`: The name of the sysfs file for the accelerometer x axis. + `accel_y`: The name of the sysfs file for the accelerometer y axis. + `accel_z`: The name of the sysfs file for the accelerometer z axis. Default keybindings: * `` + `` + ``: Change the screen rotation manually (doesn't disable the auto rotation). * `` + `` + ``: Enable/disable the auto rotation. ### Download - [2022-10-25](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...Unprex:rotation.patch) ### Authors - [Unprex](https://github.com/Unprex) --- ## center ### Description Adds a rule to automatically center clients on the current monitor. ### Download - [v0.4](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...dm1tz:04-center.patch) - [v0.4-r1](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...dm1tz:04rc1-iscenter.patch) - [2022-08-27](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...dm1tz:iscenter.patch) ### Authors - [Dmitry Zakharchenko](https://github.com/dm1tz) --- ## clipboardManager ### Description Store your clipboard history using `clipman` clipboard manager without your KeePassXC passwords leaking into clipman.

Make sure `wl-paste -t text -w dwl-clipboard-watcher` is running after dwl. ### Downloads - [2023-3-01](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...MadcowOG:ipc-clipboard.patch) ### Authors - [MadcowOG](https://github.com/MadcowOG) --- ## cyclelayouts ### Description Adds function to cycle through available layouts. ### Download - [v0.4](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...dm1tz:04-cyclelayouts.patch) - [2021-07-27](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...vnepogodin:cyclelayouts.patch) ### Authors - [Vladislav Nepogodin](https://github.com/vnepogodin) --- ## fibonacci ### Description Arranges windows in a Fibonacci spiral or dwindle. ### Scheme ``` +-----------+-----------+ +-----------+-----------+ | | | | | | | | 2 | | | 2 | | | | | | | | 1 +--+--+-----+ | 1 +-----+-----+ | | 5|-.| | | | | 4 | | +--+--+ 3 | | | 3 +--+--+ | | 4 | | | | | 5|-.| +-----------+-----+-----+ +-----------+-----+-----+ spiral dwindle ``` ### Download - [2023-06-21](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...Abanoub8:fibonacci.patch) - [2022-09-22](http://0x0.st/oVlu.patch) - [2021-05-06](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...917Wolf:fib.patch) ### Authors - [Abanoub8](https://github.com/Abanoub8) - [medanisjbara](https://github.com/medanisjbara) - [917Wolf](https://github.com/917Wolf) - Niki Yoshiuchi --- ## focusMonPointer ### Description Implements `focusmon()` function that moves the cursor to the focused monitor. ### Download - [2020-10-15](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...Stivvo:focusMonPointer.patch) ### Authors - [Stivvo](https://github.com/Stivvo) --- ## focusdir ### Description Focus the window left, right, above or below the current focused window ### Download - [2023-19-15](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...XGames123:focusdir.patch) ### Authors - [ldev](https://github.com/Xgames123) --- ## focusmaster ### Description Focus the master regardless of the current focus. ### Download - [2022-09-02](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...dm1tz:fmaster.patch) - [2022-08-18](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...PalanixYT:focusmaster.patch) ### Authors - [Palanix](https://github.com/PalanixYT) --- ## genericgaps ### Description This patch is a modified version of [vanitygaps][vanitygaps] that adds gaps around clients regardless of a layout. It means you can apply any layout patch and the gaps will be shown properly as long as the layout does not add any gaps on its own. This works by allowing a layout to place clients normally without gaps, and then correcting positions and dimensions of clients afterwards to add gaps around them. To make it work, I had to modify `resize()` function, and, as a side effect, this change fixed some flickering I experienced when using [snail][snail] layout.

They don't do anything anyways. ### Download - [2023-11-24](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...wochap:genericgaps.patch) - [2023-05-20](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...NikitaIvanovV:genericgaps.patch) generic gaps - [2023-05-20](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...NikitaIvanovV:genericgaps-rule.patch) generic gaps + monitor rule to enable gaps on certain monitors by default ### Authors - [Nikita Ivanov](https://github.com/NikitaIvanovV) --- ## gridmode ### Description Arranges windows in a grid of equal sizes. ### Download - [2023-06-21](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...Abanoub8:gridmode.patch) - [2021-07-24](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...vnepogodin:gridmode.patch) ### Authors - [Vladislav Nepogodin](https://github.com/vnepogodin) - [Abanoub8](https://github.com/Abanoub8) --- ## hidecursor ### Description Hide the cursor when typing ### Download - [2023-10-25](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...apprehensions:hidecursor.patch) - [2023-02-19](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...PalanixYT:type_hide.patch) ### Authors - [Palanix](https://github.com/PalanixYT) --- ## kbrules ### Description Allow for keyboard rules to be used; This allows for keyboard-specific options or layouts.

Instead, the mouse will resize the window in the quadrant that the resize starts at. This is the same resize behavior as Sway and is similar to the resizehere dwm patch. ### Download - [v0.4](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...schance995:dwl:relative-mouse-resize.patch) ### Authors - [schance995](https://github.com/schance995) --- ## restartdwl ### Description This patch allows you to restart dwl with a keybinding. **NOTE:** that all of your applications are gonna get killed on dwl restart. The function creates a file at **/tmp/restart_dwl** and exits dwl. You have to modify your dwl launch script in order for this patch to work. Example dwl launch script: ```sh do=true while $do || [ -f /tmp/restart_dwl ]; do do=false rm -rf /tmp/restart_dwl > /dev/null 2>&1 dwl done ``` It's a do-while that checks if **/tmp/restart_dwl** exists after the first run of dwl. If this file exists delete it and start dwl again. ### Download - [2022-10-27](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...krypciak:patch-restartdwl.patch) ### Authors - [krypciak](https://github.com/krypciak) --- ## restoretiling ### Description All floating windows become tiling when switching to a different layout. ### Download - [2020-08-28](https://github.com/djpohly/dwl/compare/main...Stivvo:restoreTiling.patch) ### Authors - [Stivvo](https://github.com/Stivvo) --- ## stickyrule ### Description Add a rule to clients to spawn them [sticky](sticky) on start up.
