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.
Ah, thanks. Halfway there. So, that's roughly what I was looking for,
but it's not very noticeable. Does anyone have a 'dwm-urgent-blink'
patch? The one I found¹ didn't work (makes dwm unresponsive to input
after something gets the urgent bit set, and I don't know enough about
pthreads to know what's going wrong).
