The patches I applied were:

All of the patches were very straightforward. However I had issues with barcolors patch. Look into drawstatus function to see the mods I've made (with Claude AI) to get it to work. However even with those mods I wasn't able to display nested fg-bg color formatting like: ^bg(FFFF00)^fg(000000)%s: %d%%^fg()^bg().

DWL IPC Patch

date: May 24 2025

In order to get the ipc patch working I had to make significant mods. config.def.h had the least mods since alt-b was already set to toggle bar. Makefile and dwl.c required more for careful mods.

The bar-0.7.patch tookaway the printstatus() function but the ipc.patch needed it.

So In addition to other mods, I had to restore the printstatus() method and invoke at every place where drawbars() gets invoked.
