dwm is a window manager made by the suckless team.

Installation

Enable dwm</dwm> in your system configuration:

services.xserver.windowManager.dwm.enable = true;


Creating override

To patch dwm, override `services.xserver.windowManager.dwm.package` as below:

services.xserver.windowManager.dwm.package = pkgs.dwm.overrideAttrs (oldAttrs: rec {
  patches = [
    # for local patch files, replace with relative path to patch file
    ./path/to/local.patch
    # for external patches
    (pkgs.fetchpatch {
      # replace with actual URL
      url = "https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/path/to/patch.diff";
      # replace hash with the value from `nix-prefetch-url "https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/path/to/patch.diff"`
      hash = "";
    })
  ];
})
