Hi, how to install your dwmstatus or just start up script?

[jgrar]

Hi lounge420, thanks for your interest in my dwmstatus bar!

A couple of things:

• Please don't post in the 'Screenshots' issue, I'm only using this issue so that I can link to an image hosted on github from the README.md. You are more than welcome to post this as it's own seperate issue.
• The code is a mess right now, so use with caution. I'm currently finishing a uni assignment so this is on hold for the time being but I will push a better commit in the coming week or so, stay tuned.

If you still want to try it:

There's two seperate statusbar programs in this repo right now, both have equivalent output. One is dwmstatus.sh in the root, obviously it's a script, the other is compiled with make in the src/ directory. There is a drawback with the shell script though in that I noticed the status monitors would halt after a time, especially the cpu monitor (pictured as the first percentage from the right), the compiled statusbar does not suffer this drawback.

To build and run:

git clone https://github.com/jgrar/dwmstatus.git
cd dwmstatus/src
make
dwmstatus &

Put the last line in your .xinitrc and the path to it before exec dwm if you're going to run it from there.

Note: you should be using dwm with the statuscolors patch and the Material Icons font (https://github.com/google/material-design-icons). Please refer to my dwm config: https://github.com/jgrar/dwm/blob/patches/patches/99-config_h.diff and the patches directory: https://github.com/jgrar/dwm/blob/patches/patches/

Also note: if you're intent on running the script you will need z3bra's mkb: http://git.z3bra.org/mkb/log.html

Edit: one other important note; if you're using dwm from latest git you're better off using my statuscolors patch (https://github.com/jgrar/dwm-patches/tree/master/statuscolors).
