DWMSTATUS

dwm’s status bar text can be set using the xsetroot -name $status notion. This very well leads to big scripts, which pull in unneeded dependencies. One solution for this is to write everything in C. C is much more efficient. This page will give you a barebone dwmstatus project and show examples on how to extend it to your needs.
