barless

I recently removed the status bar from my laptop’s dwm setup.

To make up for the lack of a status bar, I’ve set up a few cron jobs:

Every 5 minutes, battery level is checked. If it’s below 20% and isn’t charging, a notification pops up. If it’s over 80% and still charging, a notification pops up.
