Trouble understading statuscolors #33

Closed gofranorin closed 2 years ago

gofranorin commented 2 years ago

Sorry, this might seem a bit noob-ish, but I'm having some trouble understanding exactly how the colored statusbar works, and I was hoping you could clear it for me. Firstly, do I have to patch in the statuscolor patch? Or does it already come with the patch you provided?

No you don't have to do any more patches, its all in the one patch.

You will have to expand the *colors[][3] array in your dwm config.h, then you can use the colors defined there in the status. You will have to output raw characters to switch color schemes in the status. Refer to statuscolors site. There is just one difference that the raw characters start from \x0b rather than \x01 as I have also mentioned in the README. Also refer to the blocks I have provided for example.
