+<h2>Naked DWM</h2>
+<h3>2025-05-01</h3>
+<h4>Zero dwm patches...</h4>
+<p>Inspiration from <a href="https://youtu.be/O5VVdFWJcak">Bread on Penguins</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8_d2rnwQdo&t=1206s">BugsWriter</a></p>
+<p><img src="/images/blog/pywal16-screenshot.png"></p>
+<p>I've been messing with DWM patches but I went back to naked DWM. 
+The only caveat is a couple of lines of code in <b>dwm/config.h</b> to integrate Pywal16, 
+that allows me to have a colour theme that matches whatever wallpaper I'm using.</p>
+<p>It's possible to patch DWM with the Xresources patch but patches are version dependant and can be a pain.
+I prefer simple and maintainable.</p>
+<p>Install <a href="https://github.com/eylles/pywal16">pywal16</a></p>
+<pre>
+yay -S python-pywal16
+</pre>
+<h4>Modify dwm/config.h</h4>
+<p>In <b>dwm/config.h</b> I removed the default colour settings:</p>
+<pre>
+static const char col_gray1[]       = "#222222";
+static const char col_gray2[]       = "#444444";
+static const char col_gray3[]       = "#bbbbbb";
+static const char col_gray4[]       = "#eeeeee";
+static const char col_cyan[]        = "#005577";
+static const char *colors[][3]      = {
+	/*               fg         bg         border   */
+	[SchemeNorm] = { col_gray3, col_gray1, col_gray2 },
+	[SchemeSel]  = { col_gray4, col_cyan,  col_cyan  },
+};
+</pre>
+<p>and replaced them with this line:</p>
+<pre>
+/* Pywal16 */ 
+#include "/home/philip/.cache/wal/colors-wal-dwm.h"
+</pre>
+<h4>xinitrc</h4>
+<p>In my .xinitrc I have <b>wal -Rq</b> which recalls the last wallpaper setting.</p>
+<h4>Chooser script</h4>
+<p>This script chooses the wallpaper then recompiles dwm and dmenu.</p>
+<pre>
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# Choose a wallpaper 
+# requires nsxiv, pywal16
+# ~/.local/bin is in PATH
+
+FOLDER=~/Pictures/wallpaper
+# thumbnail display of images
+CHOICE=$(nsxiv -otb $FOLDER/*) 
+
+wal -i $CHOICE
+
+# Post process
+
+# DWM
+cd ~/.local/src/dwm
+make clean ; make
+rm -f ~/.local/bin/dwm
+cp dwm ~/.local/bin
+
+# DWMMENU
+rm -f ~/.local/dmenu*
+cd ~/.local/src/dmenu
+make clean ; make
+cp {dmenu,dmenu_run,dmenu_path} ~/.local/bin
