Welcome to dwm

About

This is my personal build of dwm.

Patches

• autostart
• bar-height
• fibonacci layout
• gaps
• movestack
• restartsig
• custom patches (no .diff files)

Custom patches

• modified drawbar, tile and view functions
• barpos.c
• gaps.c
• tags.c
• volume.c
• more but I've forgotten

Expected packages

• alacritty
• dmenu
• firefox
• ranger
• nemo
• nitrogen
• more (located in my dotfiles repo)

These are the packages which need to be installed on your system for the default keybindings to function properly. All bindings can easily be changed by modifying config.h.
