1 # Description 2 This patch allows you to transform the dmenu into a floating bar, with customizable height, as well as vertical and horizontal padding. This is an extension of [floatingstatus](https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/floatingstatus/) for dwm. 3 4 NOTE: Added an extra flag, '-bo', which allows you to specify the colour of the border explicitly. 5 By default, the background just inherits the '-sb' flag, to cooperate with default dwm behaviour. 6 7 This is my first time patching suckless software. Please feel free to email me if you encounter any issues. 8 9 See also: https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/floatingstatus/ 10 11 <div style="text-align: center;"> 12 <img src="bar.png" alt="dwm bar" width="1200"> 13 </div> 14 15 <div style="text-align: center;"> 16 <img src="dmenu.png" alt="dmenu with patch" width="1200"> 17 </div> 18 19 ## Config 20 21 Everything is in ``config.def.h`` 22 23 barpadh - [int] Vertical padding: how far the bar is from the top. 24 barpadv - [int] Horizontal padding: how far the bar is from each side. 25 barheight - [int] Bar height: How long the bar is vertically. 26 barborder - [int] Bar border: How thick the border is. 27 28 ## Download 29 30 [dmenu-floatingbar-5.4.diff](https://github.com/danskullz/dmenu-floatingbar/raw/refs/heads/main/dmenu-floatingbar-5.4.diff) 31 32 ## Authors 33 34 Daniel Guihot - daniel@guihot.net
