<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
