Hey guys,
is there a way to have widgets in the status bar display images instead
of utf8 symbols?
I know it's a question of philosophy whether you'll want that (and will
therefore inevitably spawn holy flame wars ;)), but I just saw it
yesterday in awesome[0] and think it was a pretty neat
What are widgets?

Hello,
The general consensus is that sprinkling icons everywhere actually
makes the interface far more complicated and distracting, and
generally quite *bad*. While there *are* some exceptions where icons
are more compact, they are rare.
Consider the meter widgets people are obsessed with
Sidestepping the holy-war topic here, I'd like to point out that there
are plenty of status bars out there like tint2 and dzen2 that you
could use. I've even heard of people using DWM in conjunction with
xfce-panel. A patch to add the same functionality that one of these
examples already does
I just looked at the screenshot linked by the OP, and thats indeed
wrong
usage of icons, IMHO. I argued againts the wifi signal example, not for
replacing descriptive names of applications with crappy logos without
any
expressivenes. How the fuck can a wolf represent an audio application?

Subjectively, I like C and Ruby better than Lua. Architecturally, I
like that DWM is minimal, having a very limited statusbar, because
I can use a better tool for the job (dzen2) or even go
