It is possible if you hack the code, though it is dependent from
your intention, there are two motivations for this:
a) You want make dwm simplier, so you might want remove the code
responsible for drawing/creating/resizing the status bar
completely.
b) You only don't like the status bar on the screen, so you
might want add a togglebar() function which shows/hides the
status bar and performs a rearrange() accordingly - actually I
even consider this an interesting option for mainstream dwm,
because this way, one could define an
enum { BarTop, BarBot, BarOff };
and implement a togglebar() function which toggles between those
modes. #define BARPOS BarOff in config.h could be then use to
hide the bar by default.
Is b) of your taste? I consider this useful, to have the
possibility to hide or move the bar somewhere else on demand.
What do others thing about my proposal?
void
togglebar(const char *arg)
{
barpos = ++barpos % 3;
way = sy;
wah = sh;
switch(barpos) {
case BarTop:
way += bh;
XMoveWindow(dpy, barwin, sx, sy);
case BarBot:
wah -= bh;
XMoveWindow(dpy, barwin, sx, sy + sh - bh);
break;
case BarOff:
XMoveWindow(dpy, barwin, sx, sy - bh);
break;
}
lt-arrange();
}
Note, not tested, but something like that is in my mind.

Re: [dwm] dwm without statusbar
I really like the b option and it would be very usefull to my setup. I
hope to see this option soon :D

Re: [dwm] dwm without statusbar
well I'm interested in both a b :) a) I would then simply use dzen to notify any interesting information ( too much cpu / im conversation..) b) that would be perfect indeed to show/hide the statusbar, so I could forget a) !

I never liked the current #define TOPBAR true/false, so this seems to me like a more elegant solution with added NOBAR and runtime switching as a bonus. TOP-BOT-OFF toggling probably won't work for me, but patching it to TOP-OFF won't be that difficult I guess :) Regards, Jeroen Schot
