launcher-colors
Description
This patch adds colors to the launcher icons which you click to launch programs and commands.
Usage:
File config.def.h
Append new color scheme to the colors array. Example below.
static const char *colors[][3] = {
/* fg bg border */
[SchemeNorm] = { gray3, black, gray2 },
[SchemeSel] = { gray4, blue, blue },
[SchemeTitle] = { white, black, black }, // active window title
[TabSel] = { blue, gray2, black },
[TabNorm] = { gray3, black, black },
[SchemeTag] = { gray3, black, black },
[SchemeTag1] = { blue, black, black },
[SchemeTag2] = { red, black, black },
[SchemeTag3] = { orange, black, black },
[SchemeTag4] = { green, black, black },
[SchemeTag5] = { pink, black, black },
[SchemeLayout] = { green, black, black },
[SchemeBtnPrev] = { green, black, black },
[SchemeBtnNext] = { yellow, black, black },
[SchemeBtnClose] = { red, black, black },
[SchemeColorEW] = { orange, black, black }, // color ewww launcher icon
[SchemeColorFF] = { yellow, black, black }, // color firefox launcher icon
[SchemeColorDS] = { red, black, black }, // color discord launcher icon
[SchemeColorTG] = { green, black, black }, // color telegram launcher icon
[SchemeColorMS] = { blue, black, black }, // color mintstick launcher icon
[SchemeColorPC] = { pink, black, black }, // color pavucontrol launcher icon
};
The command names defined for the launchers are important since these are used again later.
static const Launcher launchers[] = {
/* command name to display */
{ eww, "" },
{ firefox, "" },
{ discord, "ﱲ" },
{ telegram, "" },
{ mintstick, "虜" },
{ pavucontrol, "墳" },
};
File dwm.c
Append new color schemes to the enum. Example below.
enum {
SchemeNorm,
SchemeSel,
SchemeTitle,
SchemeTag,
SchemeTag1,
SchemeTag2,
SchemeTag3,
SchemeTag4,
SchemeTag5,
SchemeLayout,
TabSel,
TabNorm,
SchemeBtnPrev,
SchemeBtnNext,
SchemeBtnClose,
SchemeColorEW,
SchemeColorFF,
SchemeColorDS,
SchemeColorTG,
SchemeColorMS,
SchemeColorPC
}; /* color schemes */
File dwm.c
Navigate to the line where the following is defined:
w = TEXTW(m->ltsymbol);
Comment out line
drw_setscheme(drw, scheme[SchemeLayout]);
Inside the for loop add if conditions to set the different color schemes for each launcher.
Example below. Note. The command name should match the ones defined inside config.def.h
w = TEXTW(m->ltsymbol);
//drw_setscheme(drw, scheme[SchemeLayout]);
x = drw_text(drw, x, 0, w, bh, lrpad / 2, m->ltsymbol, 0);
for (i = 0; i < LENGTH(launchers); i++)
{
if (launchers[i].command == eww){
drw_setscheme(drw, scheme[SchemeColorEW]);
}
if (launchers[i].command == firefox){
drw_setscheme(drw, scheme[SchemeColorFF]);
}
if (launchers[i].command == discord){
drw_setscheme(drw, scheme[SchemeColorDS]);
}
if (launchers[i].command == telegram){
drw_setscheme(drw, scheme[SchemeColorTG]);
}
if (launchers[i].command == mintstick){
drw_setscheme(drw, scheme[SchemeColorMS]);
}
if (launchers[i].command == pavucontrol){
drw_setscheme(drw, scheme[SchemeColorPC]);
}
w = TEXTW(launchers[i].name);
After a rebuild.
The result will be as shown below.
