Once you’ve done that here are the general steps:

  • Find a Patch: Head over to the dwm patches page. Find a patch you like. Let’s say you want the autostart patch, which allows you to run commands automatically when dwm starts (I highly reccomend this especially if you’re running from a display manager!).

  • Download the Patch: Download the .diff file for the patch. Save it somewhere, perhaps in a patches subdirectory within your dwm source folder.

    1. Resolve Conflicts (If Any): Sometimes, patches might conflict, especially if they modify the same lines of code or if you’re applying a patch meant for an older version of dwm. This will result in .rej (rejected) files. You’ll need to manually edit the source files to resolve these conflicts, looking at the .rej files to see what couldn’t be applied. This is the trickiest part, but it gets easier with practice. Start with simple, popular patches.
