Just in case it is still relevant I cite a part of dwm description
drom suckless.org where it explains why editing the source code and
recompilation is the best way of configuring such type of software:
"""
dwm is customized through editing its source code, which makes it
extremely fast and secure - it does not process any input data which
isn’t known at compile time, except window titles and status text read
from the root window’s name. You don’t have to learn Lua/sh/ruby or
some weird configuration file format (like X resource files), beside
C, to customize it for your needs: you only have to learn C (at least
in order to edit the header file).
"""
Cheers,
Daniel
