Lightweight, Asynchronous and Extendible DWM Status bar built with rust.
Current CPU Usage, plus the usage of available cores, displayed as a graph.
The current date time that does not take too much space.
If you are using NVIDIA drivers, and you notice that the fans do not start automatically, this feature can help you solve this problem automatically.
Display Gpu usage, Memory, temperature and Fan-RPM. plus it runs the fan automatically when the gpu temperature is high, and stop the fans when the temperature is back to normal.
Memory usage displayed as percentage, helpfull and practical.
Upload and Download Status.
For network stats to work for you, you must update this array in src/main.rs
with the list of interfaces you want to show stats for.
net_stats.set_ifaces(vec!["enp10s0", "wlx04d4c464bd3c"]);Calculate the ping, uses cloudflare public DNS by default, and switch to mullvad vpn dns server when using vpn.
Show connected ip address when connected to Mullvad VPN.
dwm_status does not contains any config file nor command line, i built it
for my own usage, the only way to change the behavior is to edit the code.
To run it:
$ cargo build --release
$ ./target/release/dwm_status &
Adding new features is straight forward
To add a new feature (for ex: connected to tor network)
add tor.rs to src/features, then copy paste the following code:
The value you assign to output variable is the one that will be displayed on
dwm_status
use std::sync::Arc;
use crate::FeatureTrait;
use tokio::sync::{ mpsc, Mutex };
use tokio::time::{ sleep, Duration };
use crate::StatusBar;
pub struct Tor {
status_bar: Arc<StatusBar>,
prefix: &'static str,
idle: Duration,
}
#[async_trait::async_trait]
impl FeatureTrait for Tor {
fn new(status_bar: Arc<StatusBar>, prefix: &'static str, idle: Duration) -> Self {
Self { status_bar, prefix, idle }
}
async fn pull(&mut self) {
loop {
// Some logic to find out weather you are connected to tor or not
let output = "TOR: connected";
*self.status_bar.tor.write().await = output;
sleep(self.idle).await;
}
}
}Declare your module, in src/features/mod.rs
pub(super) mod tor;
pub(super) use tor::Tor;Add a new field to src/status_bar.rs
pub struct StatusBar {
// ...Other fields
pub tor: RwLock<String>,
}And finally edit src/main.rs
use features::{
// ...Other features
Tor,
};
// ... skip lines
let resources: Vec<Box<dyn FeatureTrait Send Sync>> = vec![
// Prefix Poll updates every 1 second
Box::new(Tor::new(status_bar.clone(), "Tor: ", Duration::from_secs(1))),
];
// ... skip lines
// This list can be ordered the way you want the status bar to display updates:
{ output.push(status_bar.vpn.read().await.to_string()); }
{ output.push(status_bar.date_time.read().await.to_string()); }
{ output.push(status_bar.ping.read().await.to_string()); }
{ output.push(status_bar.memory.read().await.to_string()); }
{ output.push(status_bar.cpu.read().await.to_string()); }
{ output.push(status_bar.gpu.read().await.to_string()); }
{ output.push(status_bar.net_stats.read().await.to_string()); }
// Add your line here
{ output.push(status_bar.tor.read().await.to_string()); }Now rebuild, and enjoy ;-)
$ cargo build --release
