Dwm Colors

November 14th, 2011 by

Who says that dwm (dwm.suckless.org) has to be boring, default, and drab? I don’t, and unless you’re too lazy to edit a couple color lines, you shouldn’t agree either. I’ve spent a lot of my life tweaking and playing with dwm. Not out of hassle, or unhappiness, but to make a great thing better, and more suited to my needs. Coloring dwm is one of the simplest, yet most satisfying things. I have a few color schemes that I made, but please feel free to provide me with your color schemes, and I would be happy to include them in the post (in future updates).
