-===============
+launcher-colors
+========
Description
-----------
-This patch lets you specify whether a key binding should be executed at the
-_KeyPress_ or _KeyRelease_ event. Executing on _KeyRelease_ fixes bugs such as
-`scrot -s` [failing to execute from a key binding](//lists.suckless.org/dev/1108/9185.html)
-due to keys not being released in time.
+This patch adds colors to the launcher icons which you click to launch programs and commands.
-Note that the new parameter must be added to all non-standard key bindings
-manually after patching.
+Usage:
+------
+
+File config.def.h
+
+Append new color scheme to the colors array.
+Example below.
+
+ static const char *colors[][3] = {
+ /* fg bg border */
+ [SchemeNorm] = { gray3, black, gray2 },
+ [SchemeSel] = { gray4, blue, blue },
+ [SchemeTitle] = { white, black, black }, // active window title
+ [TabSel] = { blue, gray2, black },
+ [TabNorm] = { gray3, black, black },
+ [SchemeTag] = { gray3, black, black },
+ [SchemeTag1] = { blue, black, black },
+ [SchemeTag2] = { red, black, black },
+ [SchemeTag3] = { orange, black, black },
+ [SchemeTag4] = { green, black, black },
+ [SchemeTag5] = { pink, black, black },
+ [SchemeLayout] = { green, black, black },
+ [SchemeBtnPrev] = { green, black, black },
+ [SchemeBtnNext] = { yellow, black, black },
+ [SchemeBtnClose] = { red, black, black },
+ [SchemeColorEW] = { orange, black, black }, // color ewww launcher icon
+ [SchemeColorFF] = { yellow, black, black }, // color firefox launcher icon
+ [SchemeColorDS] = { red, black, black }, // color discord launcher icon
+ [SchemeColorTG] = { green, black, black }, // color telegram launcher icon
+ [SchemeColorMS] = { blue, black, black }, // color mintstick launcher icon
+ [SchemeColorPC] = { pink, black, black }, // color pavucontrol launcher icon
+ };
+
+The command names defined for the launchers are important since these are used again later.
+
+ static const Launcher launchers[] = {
+ /* command name to display */
+ { eww, "" },
+ { firefox, "" },
+ { discord, "ﱲ" },
+ { telegram, "" },
+ { mintstick, "虜" },
+ { pavucontrol, "墳" },
+ };
+
+File dwm.c
+
+Append new color schemes to the enum.
+Example below.
+
+ enum {
+ SchemeNorm,
+ SchemeSel,
+ SchemeTitle,
+ SchemeTag,
+ SchemeTag1,
+ SchemeTag2,
+ SchemeTag3,
+ SchemeTag4,
+ SchemeTag5,
+ SchemeLayout,
+ TabSel,
+ TabNorm,
+ SchemeBtnPrev,
+ SchemeBtnNext,
+ SchemeBtnClose,
+ SchemeColorEW,
+ SchemeColorFF,
+ SchemeColorDS,
+ SchemeColorTG,
+ SchemeColorMS,
+ SchemeColorPC
+ }; /* color schemes */
+
+File dwm.c
-Usage
------
-A working `scrot -s` key binding:
+Navigate to the line where the following is defined:
- { KeyRelease, 0, XK_Print, spawn, SHCMD("scrot -s") },
+ w = TEXTW(m->ltsymbol);
-Or to only display the bar while the toggle key is held down (requires that it
-is hidden to start with), add:
+Comment out line
- { KeyRelease, MODKEY, XK_b, togglebar, {0} },
+ drw_setscheme(drw, scheme[SchemeLayout]);
-Alternatives
-------------
+Inside the for loop add if conditions to set the different color schemes for each launcher.
-An alternative is to put a tiny sleep right before executing scrot.
+Example below.
+Note. The command name should match the ones defined inside config.def.h
- { ControlMask, XK_Print, spawn, SHCMD("sleep 0.2; scrot -s") },
+ w = TEXTW(m->ltsymbol);
+ //drw_setscheme(drw, scheme[SchemeLayout]);
+ x = drw_text(drw, x, 0, w, bh, lrpad / 2, m->ltsymbol, 0);
+
+ for (i = 0; i < LENGTH(launchers); i++)
+ {
+ if (launchers[i].command == eww){
+ drw_setscheme(drw, scheme[SchemeColorEW]);
+ }
+
+ if (launchers[i].command == firefox){
+ drw_setscheme(drw, scheme[SchemeColorFF]);
+ }
+
+ if (launchers[i].command == discord){
+ drw_setscheme(drw, scheme[SchemeColorDS]);
+ }
+
+ if (launchers[i].command == telegram){
+ drw_setscheme(drw, scheme[SchemeColorTG]);
+ }
+
+ if (launchers[i].command == mintstick){
+ drw_setscheme(drw, scheme[SchemeColorMS]);
+ }
+
+ if (launchers[i].command == pavucontrol){
+ drw_setscheme(drw, scheme[SchemeColorPC]);
+ }
+
+ w = TEXTW(launchers[i].name);
+
+After a rebuild.
+
+The result will be as shown below.
