DWM status service which dynamically updates when needed. Heavily inspired by i3status-rust.
Example status bar:
L 30% / MUTE / ▼ 25% (01:05) / 2018-03-16 21:25
If an error occures, notifications via libnotify are sent.
cargo, rustc and lib{dbus,gdk-pixbuf,glib,notify,x11}-dev are required to build the binary.
sh
$ # dev mode
$ cargo run -- <config-file>
$ # release mode
$ cargo build --release
$ ./target/release/dwm-status <config-file>
Or install globally to ~/.cargo/bin:
sh
$ cargo install dwm-status
Build:
sh
$ nix-build
And run:
sh
$ ./result/bin/dwm_status <config-file>
The config-file can be a HJSON, JSON, TOML or YAML file. See in examples/settings for how examples filled with the
default values. The type of file is determined by its suffix.
