Eorus dwm Build V6.6 - dynamic window manager

For Thinkpad X220 I've tried to keep dwm as minimal as I can to use screen real estate and keyboard actions.

Patches I've Used

• dwm-alpha
• dwm-fibonacci
• dwm-fullgaps
• dwm-statuscolors
• XF86Keys #include <X11/XF86keysym.h>

Font

static const char *fonts[] = {
    "Inter:size=12",
    "JetBrains Mono:size=12"
};
static const char dmenufont[] = "Inter:size=12";

Xsetroot Scripts for Status

Simple dwm statusbar shows brightness, volume, battery, date and time. Save it in an executable and start before exec dwm in xinitrc.
