dwlb

dwlb is a simple bar for dwl. It is a modified version of dtao.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/kolunmi/dwlb
cd dwlb
make install

Usage

Pass dwlb as an argument to dwl's -s flag. This will populate each connected output with a bar. For example:

dwl -s 'dwlb -font "monospace:size=16"'

Commands

Command options send instructions to existing instances of dwlb. All commands take at least one argument to specify a bar on which to operate. This may be zxdg_output_v1 name, "all" to affect all outputs, or "selected" for the current output.

Status Text

The -status command is used to write status text. The text may contain in-line color commands in the following format: ^fg/bg(HEXCOLOR). For example, ^fg(ff0000) would set the foreground red. Colors can be reset by omitting the hex value. ^^ represents a single ^ character.

Other Options

Run dwlb -h for a full list of options.
