1 splitstatus 2 =========== 3 4 Description 5 ----------- 6 Inspired by a reddit post I saw, from someone who had already implemented this behaviour. 7 Code for this patch is based on their git repo. 8 Unfortunately, I cannot find the reddit post I saw in the first place (it was from quite a while ago). 9 10 This patch replaces the standard statusbar items (window name to the right of the tags, and status on the right) with two status items: one in the centre, and one on the right. 11 12 The status is still set in the same way with `xsetroot`. However, for the splitstatus behaviour, a delimeter character is added (semicolon by default) to separate the centre status text from the right status text. 13 14 Usage 15 ----- 16 Status should be set in the form `<middle>;<right>` if semicolon is the delimeter character (set using the `splitdelim` variable in `config.def.h`). 17 18 If the status text does not contain the delimeter character, the text will appear only in the centre of the bar. 19 This can be changed by setting the option `splitstatus` to 0, which will put the status text on the right. 20 21 Please note that this patch needs `rm config.h` to be added to the `Makefile`. 22 23 Screenshots: 24  25 26 Download 27 -------- 28 * [dwm-splitstatus-20201114-61bb8b2.diff](dwm-splitstatus-20201114-61bb8b2.diff) 29 30 Author 31 ------ 32 * Alex Cole <ajzcole at airmail.cc>
