ztatus creates a status bar for dwm, and other window managers using the root WM_NAME as input for displaying a status bar. Except for creating a status bar, ztatus also acts as a simple notification daemon.
Measurements
ztatus displays measurements from volume, battery, temperature, cpu usage, memory usage, mail, packages, and display date and time.
Installation
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (ztatus is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default), then simply enter the following command to install (if necessary as root):
make clean installCustomization
ztatus can be customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source code.
