Hello,

In other wm's, #2 is often handled by having a little flashing systray icon.
So, broadening: what (if anything) do dwm users use for "notifications" or
indicating urgency?
my IRC client is sending a bell character to my terminal, which is
setting the urgent bit on that window. The urgent bit tells dwm to
highlight that tag in the statusbar.
Just set in your X resources:
xterm.bellIsUrgent: true
or
urxvt.urgentOnBell: true
, depending on your favourite X terminal emulator. Reload the X
resourced and start one terminal emulator using them. Then run
% echo -e '\a';
in an unattended tag and watch the result.
Sincerely,
Christoph Lohmann
