have to figure out how to put stats on dmenu
and stuff like a clock
i have no idea what time it is
@EnjuAihara dwm's status bar is the name of the root window

xsetroot -name "Whatever"

If you want the date
xsetroot -name "$(date)"
Follow

@EnjuAihara @miria you'd make a script that runs a loop, then launch it from your .xinitrc like
statusScript &
so it runs in the background and doesnt freeze your boot. Power of doing bars this way is that the entire OS and all it's programs are at your disposal. Cli tools for everything you'd want. Look into playerctl for example

#!/bin/env sh

while true ; do
echo negroes are in proximity to my house
sleep 1
done
