The Suckless Status Bar

In this video, I'll install and configure slstatus (tools.suckless.org/slstatus/) the suckless status bar. It's minimal and it's light weight. Obviously it isn't flashy or colorful, but that's part of what makes it excellent.

Great vid as usual

This is really interesting! I created some dwmblocks widgets to use on my dwmblocks bar but this builtin format looks more simple and have less moving parts.

I really like your videos, but can I request for a better zoom in the terminal when possible(for us who watch on mobile phones)?😅

I'm a little surprised it took SL this long to create a status bar program. It really is quite basic. I thought this might be a new name for dwmstatus, but it seems not to be. I ended up making my own shell script years ago with sed/grep that displays network info, volume, battery, and date/time. It's only about 1KB.

The rapidly decreasing disk space was the funniest thing

Hello man i am really interested in your terminal colour scheme can you please share it or any link would be appreciated

[@D0J0P]

This looks really cool! I just installed Arch with DWM as my first tiling window manager, trying to get the hang of it. So far I have time/date, battery percentage, now I'm trying to figure out how to get the volume to show.

Amazing

Is it possible to also move the bar to the bottom ?

[@KimberlyWilliamsch]

Thanks, i need this, i don't want polybar consuming my ram too much, i just need an information of my computer, don't need a pretty appearance.

What camera software do you use to get that circle? I've been using mpv, but can't make it a circle.

In this video, I used OBS for recording. That circle was an effect added to my video source.
