status bar

dwm use the title value of the X root window as status bar. To use a status provider we need a small tool that sets the title of the X root window with provider's output. This tool is xrootwin.

build xrootwin

cd xrootwin
mkdir build; cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .

then call it from a startup script like .xinitrc or .xprofile and pipe the provider output into it

if [ "$XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP" = 'dwm' ]; then
  (provider_bin | xrootwin) &
fi
