What do you mean exactly? Where are you setting exactly, and how? If you are setting it in your .profile, make sure to source that. If yoy are setting it in your .xinitrc, do so also, etc. Basically: you must set this env variable in a way that dwm know about it. Setting it in alacritty (if that's what you meant by "by-hand") will not work because your shell will just set these env variables for itself. Make also sure to export the env, not just setting it (ie, `export TERMINAL=alacritty` rather than just `TERMINAL=alacritty`). Regards, Elie Le Vaillant
