Ricing my DWM setup - Arch Linux + DWM Challenge Part 4. Today I customize (rice) my DWM system to look nicer and be more functional, the main benefit of tiling window managers on Linux is the customizability, where you basically build your own system.

Building a desktop environment on Linux with DWM or another tiling window manager is much like building a computer where you can choose individual components. I assume the issue I had with dwmbar and nerdfonts being quite small is because of my screen resolution and the fact that I just increased the x dpi & font size.

HiDPI Notes:
Neither suckless terminal nor DWM properly recognize HiDPI systems, so if you enable DPI through Xresources it doesn't affect font size. You need to edit the font size in config.h.

Parts I used:
feh https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/feh
st https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/St
cava https://github.com/karlstav/cava
dwmbar https://github.com/thytom/dwmbar
dwm & arch linux (btw)

Today I start attempting to RICE my DWM setup to have a red font,
