I'm on the latest version of ArchCraft with every single package updated to the latest version. I use sddm as my login manager and have created the desktop entry in /usr/share/xsessions/chadwm.desktop. Whenever I log out of BSPWM to log into ChadWM, it flashes a black screen and puts me back on the sddm login screen.

show a floating picture like thingy for tags when their icons on dwmbar is hovered, something like this

i followed the installation steps, and when dwm started, the background was black except for the task bar, i could move my mouse but no keyboard inputs, no shortcuts worked, i couldnt even exit out, i had to boot into the iso to fix it

There is one computer that will not launch chadwm from sddm.

This is the hardware info.

Could you also tell us what you think should be the dependencies for chadwm on Arch Linux?

the info we now have is coming from here

I can't figure out how to use this chadwm, it works only in Xephyr, not in SDDM or xinit (startx). my .xinitrc file and chadwm.desktop file is the same with the one provided in readme. running bar.sh returns no error, autostart have one expected error which is dwm: another window manager is already running

I followed everything that's said in Setup section but this DWM doesn't work. What I mean by that is that it opens, all the key bindings work as usual, but no new graphical elements appear, my status bar is full of emoji codes, I guess, like ^c#BF616A^ with some values in between, such as 1.5G (I guess that's used RAM), time and such.

I've installed dash, imlib2, xsetroot and moved all the fonts from Fonts directory to ~/.local/share/fonts, and then I've sudo make installed the program, that's all. To open I do xstartx, I know that I can put it in xinitrc though.

What should I do?

Hi @siduck76, I find your tab patch very interesting. It looks awesome.

Can you share a complete diff for the tab patch? I've got my own build of dwm (voidstarsh/voidwm) and I would like to use it in my build. I tried stealin- I mean copying the code from the commit history but it is divided into multiple commits and so far I've added only this https://github.com/siduck76/chadwm/commit/aa15a634d6a5880dbf2a81b692ef93b020a9c16a commit and it looks something like this (https://github.com/voidstarsh/voidwm/commit/e96d6c698bd31ef9d207da6828df400d21e6a00b):

When running sudo make install on Fedora, I am getting the error fatal error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory. I think there are some undocumented dependencies for this project on Fedora.

this is more of an request than it is an issue,

for example with status2d modified to fit statuspadding + systray, you could turn it into a patch for others to use the reason i had actually opened this issue is because i ~~shamingly~~ copied chadwm's updatesystrayicongeom but it gave me which prompted me that i did something wrong.

will it ever be possible to turn most features implented in chadwm into it's own individual patch?

The drawbar function should truncated bar width when the total width of the tab is longer than the max-width. But the for loop in the truncated step doesn't reset the total width variable. So the for loop will increase total width and the tab bar will never be truncated.

Everything works fine on single monitor, but once I enable a second monitor, then switch tags on the secondary monitor, the status bar disappears and all my keybindings stop working. I have tosudo pkill X to get out. This happens even on a fresh clone of the repo without any changes done to the config besides enabling tag preview.

Merged commits "bump version to 6.4".."manage: For isfloating/oldstate check/set, ensure trans client actually exists" of upstream.

With current chadwm , what you get is , the glyphs are annoyingly off centered

with my fix , you get ,

@siduck i humbly request you to add this code yourself as i am not free enough to create a PR

for achieving this result , change line 1480 of dwm.c from drw_text(drw, x, y, w, bh_n, lrpad / 2, tags[i], urg & 1 << i);

to

drw_text(drw, x + 3, 0, w, bh, lrpad / 2, tags[i], urg & 1 << i); // offset glyphs by 3 pixels

and line 1485 of the same file from

drw_rect(drw, x + ulinepad, bh_n - ulinestroke - ulinevoffset, w - (ulinepad * 2), ulinestroke, 1, 0); to

drw_rect(drw, x + ulinepad +3 , bh - ulinestroke - ulinevoffset, w - (ulinepad * 2), ulinestroke, 1, 0); // 3 pixel padding again

also replace line 65 in config.def.h static char *tags[] = {" ", " ", " ", " ", " "}; // the tagline

We discovered something strange.

Our users were reporting they could not login.

One time it was because the /etc/locale was not correctly filled - this we understand because of past packages.

Now we discover that we can not log into Chadwm if our shell is zsh.

Can you think together with us as to what may cause this behaviour?

Making tutorials for our users I tried to apply colors to the launchers.

It seems the colors for SchemeLayout and the launcher are the same.

Can we create separate colors for the launchers or even a separate color per launcher?
