Making a DWM Status Bar and Adding the Bling

Lets face it, all of us like our distro of choice to look good. And when it comes to a standalone window manager like DWM, a big part of the look and feel is the status bar.

I don't know why, but since trying and playing with various tiling window managers, the status bar seems to be what takes me the longest to configure.

So in this video I run through the process I've followed over the last few weeks in DWM.

I start by talking about the development of my collection of scripts (largely borrowed) before moving on to talk about how to get a bit of colour on the bar, dwmblocks, a single script, etc, etc.

I hope you enjoy the video.
